Hello, first time poster and PC builder here.
I am upgrading a workstation of mine into a gaming computer and bought two parts, one of them being a EVGA 1050 Ti SC 4gb graphics card.
On the day of installation I followed the pre-packed instructions and went to the disc with the built-in driver software. I installed the drivers and no more than 2 seconds afterwards I get a BSOD with a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error. Rebooting the system and going to the desktop everything seemed fine, the drivers were recognized. I launched into a game of Overwatch and after playing for ten minutes, closing, and returning to the desktop, I get another BSOD. Same error.
I then tried to manually uninstall the drivers and BSOD.
Re-installing the drivers gave a BSOD.
Using the DDU tool from 3DGURU gave a BSOD.
Tried manually uninstalling in safe mode to no avail.
I have used the system before this and have experienced zero issues ever. Also using the PC w/o the card produces, again, no issues whatsoever in any areas. I am positive this is a graphics card issue.
If there is anything anybody can help with, I would be more than appreciative. The last thing I want is to have to return the card and waste another week waiting for the new one to come in.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit on a Dell Optiplex 3010. Any other specs needed please ask and I can give.
EDIT: I should also mention I bought and installed a new PSU first, a CX430. This supply should be more than enough to power the card, though.
