Hey everyone, I recently upgraded to a Galax Geforce 3050 graphics card, but I'm running into some significant issues. While playing graphically intensive games like Marvel Rivals, my GPU crashes. The weird part is, if I connect another monitor to my motherboard, that one works, but the one connected to the GPU shows 'No video input' once it crashes. I've already replaced the thermal paste on my processor and formatted my PC, but nothing seems to help. This all started after I swapped out my old 1060ti for this new card. I also added a Kingston 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD to my setup—could that be part of the issue? Here are my specs:
- Galax Geforce 3050
- 500W PSU
- 32GB 3200MHz RAM
- Kingston 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD + 1TB HDD
- i7-8700k Processor
- Asus TUF Gaming H310M Motherboard
Also, I recorded a video showing what happens [here](https://streamable.com/2z5rpr). Any ideas on what could be going wrong?

Also, you could run a stress test using FurMark while monitoring your temperatures with GPU-Z. It’ll help you see if your GPU is overheating or if there’s a wattage issue. Let us know what the temps are; they can really help diagnose the problem.
First off, have you tried performing a clean driver uninstall with DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller)? It's crucial for removing any old driver remnants that could interfere with your new GPU. If you haven’t, I’d recommend doing that and then reinstall the current drivers. It might fix your crashing issue.
I formatted the PC after changing the GPU, but I’ll definitely give DDU a shot!
I ran some tests, and here’s a link to the results: [https://imgur.com/a/WQB0cmX](https://imgur.com/a/WQB0cmX). Everything seems okay, right?
