Ok so recently I bought a 1060gtx and upgraded from 8gb ram to 16gb ram. Thing is my board is a little old,it is an intel h61ww,now when I power the desktop on I get a tearing screen on the startup logo and then it freezes until I restart where it starts normally.After it starts normally everything works fine,I game on ultra,I alt tab I do it all and I always monitor the voltages temperatures and the like and they are all well within normal if not better. So what is the problem? I doubt it is the GPU,I suspect either the 16gb ram maybe the board just can't handle them on boot or maybe the PSU which is a thermeltake 730w. Any feedback would be appreciated,thank you.

When you mean "freezing at the startup logo", do you mean the windows loading logo? If so, this isn't a hard ware issue. It's is most likely a driver issue you encounter from not uninstalling previous drivers before your gpu upgrade. If your computer boots in safe mode, then that is most likely the culprit.
Let me know and i'll assist you further.

well yes your thoughts are correct if it is not the ram causing the issue then it has to be the PSU I would think the info that I have on PSU's is as follows

PSU Tier list tier 1-2 are good for gaming
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

I would recommend an EVGA SuperNova Gold G2 / GS / GQ, Platinum P2 / PS, or Titanium T2 or a Seasonic M12-II Evo or S12-II

GOOD PSU EVGA is a B2, G2, P2, GS, PS, or T2. Avoid the EVGA B1 and G1 series

Thank you for the suggestion,and yes I mean windows 7 loads its logo and as soon as it does the screen tears and the pc freezes,a simple restart fixes the problem permanently until I turn it off for at least 6-7 hours then it happens again and again a simple restart fixes it. I will use a program I have that removes drivers cleanly and try a fresh install then.
