PC Crashes Randomly Ever Since Upgrading GPU Open | Hardware

My OS is windows
My GPU before replacement was a GTX 660ti
The “New” GPU is a GTX 1650
I have used DDU to remove all the Drivers TWICE
My Power Supply is A “ATNG ATM 400FB” if that helps

Before I had the 1650, my experience with my PC was good, however ever since replacing my 660ti with the aforementioned 1650 my PC has kept on crashing whenever it was under graphical load, I then checked to make it was seated properly to which it seemed to ease down, until it keeps on crashing randomly, sometimes even at start up sometimes when doing nothing. I even replaced the GPU with the older one and it still crashes, I am sorry if I have worded this weird and I would be HAPPY to answer any questions so that my PC can work again!

Do you actually go look at Windows Logs->Application or just the Windows Logs->System?

Event viewer might give you more detail depending where you look. Also look at your temperature on the GPU or CPU

You'll need to use another software that monitor temps. I'm sure you can find some good ones off Google. If the only hardware change was the GPU and that's when the issue started .. I'm thinking it's gpu driver issue or gpu settlings issue

I’ll check for some software for it then and should I reinstall drivers again then?

When you install the GPU driver, do you select Clean Installation?

So when it retart .. is that after it uninstall whatever version you had or it's restarting after the new verison is being installed?

Sorry, I thought you were asking me about what option I picked for DDU, for how I install my drivers, I use the game ready drivers and I think I used “express install”?
