My gtx 1070 windforce oc just came in the mail today and after installing it, I noticed the screen would turn black and then back on for about a second each. I am using and hdmi to vga adapter with a monitor with a resolution of 1600 by 900. I have a 600w power supply and all of the cables are attached correctly. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
 
Solution
If replacing the cable and adapter doesn't cure it, or if the old gfx card you had doesn't do that with those components, I'd have to assume the card is defective.
