New VGA, pc reeboting, pink artifacts need help.

[Kellorxd]

So i bought a 1050 TI from Galax a couple weeks back and since then, i've experienced some problems with my computer.

Sometimes my computer reboots when gaming and today it started beeping on startup (1 long and 3 short beeps i think) also, sometimes the image goes off for about a second and goes back on, during this "Flick" my monitor shows "no signal" as if the cable was unplugged and plugged back again.
On top of that, sometimes when windows is booting, the first screen (windows 10 logo and loading circle)it shows a pink image, like a filter covering the whole screen.

I dont know if this is related to the vga but i assume it is, since It never happened before.
But i also think It may relate to my PSU because it is quite old (five years) but it has a good wattage (cx 430 from Corsair) so idk.

Also, could this be driver related? (Used the two last drivers and both showed those errors)
Or It is the hardware? (Vga, psu or something else?)

Thanks in advance.

I've had various visual anomolies during the Windows Loader, that really didn't indicate a hardware problem, that I could tell.

If you intentionally go into the BIOS / UEFI setup screens, are they distorted or pink? If so, your PSU may be bad, or your GPU defective, or both (PSU going bad can damage hardware).

The CX430 is a decidedly "budget" PSU. After five years (I don't believe the warranty is that long), I would replace it, preferably something Gold rated or better, with a better warranty and Japanese caps.

At least, try swapping in a new / known-good PSU, and see if the problems go away.

So you think is more likely to be psu problems than vga? I'll try the bios thing to see whats up.
Edit: inside the bios everything was good, but when windows started loading i got a red image this time, like red horizontal lines all over the screen.

Btw, the most important thing in a PSU is the build quality, THEN the wattage. If you have a crap PSU, it doesn't matter how high the wattage is on the label, it's still crap, and could destroy your system or make it unstable.

The CX430 PSUs, some people consider them poor quality. I don't - more "entry level". Either way, after five years, it's probably due for a replacement. Don't junk it right off, it's possible that it's just a bad GPU.

Basically, you are down to: 1) running some voltage-monitoring software (HWMonitor - free) in the background, and checking your voltages under GPU load to see if they are low, and 2) swapping parts. See if a new / good PSU fixes the issue. If so, it was probably the PSU needs to be replaced. If not, try the GPU in another PC if you can, and see how it behaves. (Was it a refurb / B-stock sale on their web site? Can you RMA it? If it's still under warranty, you might try asking their tech-support as well.)

You can also run OCCTSU test, and if the screen glitches out, or the PSU shuts down, it's probably the PSU.

Edit: Download "OCCT" and use the "PSU Test". It puts a heavy load on the system, runs CPU + GPU at full tilt. Remote minor possibility of PSU going up in smoke during this test. Quality PSUs will just shut down, due to overtemp or overload. Poor-quality PSUs might burn up, explode, or burn out every component in your PC. You have been warned!

It is under warranty, it wasnt refurbished or anything, it is brand new bought from a reseller, it still has 2 years of warranty, i contated galax support explaining the situation, ill have to wait for their response.
Bad thing is i dont have another psu available and neither another pc capable of handling the 1050 ti. I should try the OCCT test but im afraid it is the psu and i dont want to damage my brand new card, plus the whole system, so ill save that as a last resort, but thanks for the info, appreciate it.

Might aswell buy another psu anyway, since i need a new one anyway, thing is, the ones affordable to me right now are only white plus or bronze the rest is really expensive and i dont have that kind of money right now. Btw, should i pick a 600 wattage plus white from EVGA or 450 Bronze also from EVGA? I also found a cx 450 Corsair that cost about the same but i heard really good things about EVGA psu so idk.

Thanks a lot.

Before you buy anything, remove and re-seat your video card and your RAM, not necessarily in that order.

1050ti is a 75w card. Either bad card or bad seating.

You don't happen to have integrated graphics?
You could also try putting the 1050 in the second PCI-E slot

Yeah i know but, the one i have has an external pci-e connector, and from what i saw when gaming my core clock goes to 1820 mhz, cuz of gpu boost 3.0, and maybe it is draining more power than my cx 430 can handle. (five years old running about 24/7 has its draw backs)

Only from the motherboard but i suppose it is disabled automatically, unfortunately my mobo dont have another pci-e slot.

What i did though, i removed both ram sticks and cleaned then with an eraser, and reinserted my gpu aswell, ill update in a few to see if it worked.

What motherboard do you have? Some motherboards don't provide the full wattage to PCI-E slots. If the GPU doesn't have an additional power connector, this could be your issue.

Sounds like you may need a new PSU. Also, what is the rest of your specs?
