Hey, i just installed new hardware on my pc in form of

MSI GTX 960 Gaming ME, 2GB GDDR5
Seasonic 550W S12G-550 ATX-virtalähde, 80 Plus Gold
and potted all my stuff in corsair 200r case

All else is working fine except that i have now gotten black and white screen flashing after the other and the white one has some sort of pink in it too plus few black dots appear.

This has happened 2/5 out of boots,and when i have try booting again after failure boot all works fine.

Motherboard is h61h2 - ad , formerly this was acer aspire xc600

I have to boot up secure boot disabled, and launch csm to always as my motherboard doesn't allow new hardware, i followed instructions i found here at the very bottom http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/336174-upgrading-mini-tower-acer-failed/

All help accepted, thanks
 
Solution
That to me sounds like a failing card or a dodgy cable connection, try with another card if possible and a different display cable, also try a different display port on the card.

I have same problem, but I have a GTX 970. I noticed that the problem just started happening recently for me. I have rollbacked to the previous/older drivers and am hoping it doesn't happen again (and it hasn't yet). Try that out and hope for the best. Hopefully, replacing the GPU isn't necessary.

Here's what mine looked like: https://i.imgur.com/mPLw38I.jpg

Looks exactly like mine was, i didn't do anything to my drivers but i have had 4 consecutive successful boots now.
However i got some minor artifacts on phantom pain. But if get problems again i'll try messing with drivers.

Thanks for suggestion
