New 1070 acting strange.

Hi.

I'm upgrading my 1060 to a 1070. So I've just dropped and first thing that was strange is HWmonitor doesn't see the card. So I look in gpuid and it sees the 1070 but some info is missing and fan speeds are 0%. Then the screen goes off for a few seconds but comes back on again. So I switched off.

I've just left the drivers untouched as I thought you could drop in a 10 series card with uninstalling them.

My PSU is a fsp500-60hhn and it has dual rails of 18A. There is a 6pin+6pin to 8 pin adapter in the 1070 box do you think I should use this as the PSU has two 6+2 pin cables? I'm currently using one of them to power the card.

What do you think?

Use DDU uninstaller in safe mode to uninstall the drivers and install only the 1070 drivers

Ps are the gpu fans spinning

Aren't the GPU fans off until it reaches 50C? Thought I read that while I was trying to brainwash myself into handing over a small fortune for a new card. And in my experience it's not unusual for the screen to go black for a few seconds while new drivers are installed, so if the drivers were tweaking things having detected a 1070 instead of 1060 (not that I imagine the drivers are wildly different) I wouldn't be startled by that happening.

Of course if it keeps happening that's a different matter.
