help with x850xt

[ineedhelp_isuck]

so i just got this x850xt

i was wondering, how do i tell if my card is dead?

i installed it and connected the power cables and everything, just when i boot i get a bunch of random boxed colors running up and down my monitor.

i hear the fan on the card working and it is putting out a signal; its just that the signal is bad!

should i have uninstalled old drivers from my old card? (x700, catalyst)

any help is appreciated

That definitely sounds like a dead card. Exchange it for a new one...
