Gtx 980 problems

Hi guys this is my first ever post as I'm completely stomped, basically my graphic card stopped being detected by windows (10) I reckon it's must be a intermittent fault.. 3 days in a row I tried it, in both pci sockets, two power supplys both 650w, disconnecting everything apart from one hard drive and motherboard and graphics card, it's defo not software related because I reinstalled (just to test ) Windows 7/8.1 and 10, as soon a I put my old hd7970 in it worked straight away no problems on all os's, 5 different hdmi leads.. Not to mention my motherboard which I updated the BIOS and it wouldn't even recognise the graphics card, nor would windows device manager but It did straight away with my old hd7970
I've just Rma'd It with scan, they tested it within a day or so but found no problems.. So are now sending it back to me.(at a cost of £30!!). There test bench is very similar to my set up, it powers up and the fans spin, nvidia drivers won't even detect it!! This is my set up
i7 4790k
Motherboard z97p latest bios
650w psu gigabyte recommens 600w min
Windows7-8-10
120gb solid state (os)
8gb ram
Anyone else had this problem?? Thanks in advance guys

That Card takes more than 600watt PSU you need to up your game

Remember System and Overclocking draws more power i have a HX1050

You need to have plenty of power the Gigabyte cards are the most Thirsty of all the Nvidia bunch

Thank you Steve

I don't think you'll be too happy once i start to purchase Skylake parts lol

I been eyeing the ROG and Gigabyte Boards and DDR4 Combo's

To do list
#1 New case
#2 New water cooler
#3 Purchase a quality MOBO
#4 i7 6700k
#5 Ram

This is just a quick idea of what i am looking for the PSU should still be good enough HX1050

Looks good, Tommy. I'd be anxious to see how it runs. I'll be happy for you, I believe you have me mistaken with Paul. I'm perfectly happy with what I have, other than the fact that I wish I had bought the 5960X like I had planned to. DDR4 prices have come way down from when I bought it. I paid almost $300 for what I have. I can buy the same thing now for around $125, I think.

Yep the 5960x is a commitment I wasn't willing to go for but almost did Micro Center just wouldn't cooperate

Been there, done that. Just not Microcenter.
