Hello, I just installed a new graphics card (gtx 1060), and whenever i try to play games which may be quite intensive (e.g. Just Cause 3) after a few minutes the screen starts tearing, then the whole screen goes green or grey or black, and the sound keeps buzzing really loud until I shut the system off.

Today I bought and got a new power supply installed hoping this would fix it, but it hasn't, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because i'm at my wits end.

Thanks in advance

The card isn't overclocked, and i'm not sure about the v-sync thing. But Nvidia said i should replace it, so i've sent it back for a replacement. I doubt the card itself is defective, but its worth a try :) I have tried cleaning all my graphics drivers and installing fresh but that didn't help. If I still have this problem with the replacement card I will try the v-sync thing :)

Thank youu
