Is there a way to tell that my new video card is properly powered, working properly, etc?
I've installed a new video card but won't be throwing anything big at it any time soon. Is there an easy way to determine that I installed it correctly, that it's getting all the power it needs and will be able to perform when I'm ready to throw a high end graphics game at it?

Hi,
Two simple checks:
a) Does it drive your current monitors? ie, does it work when you plug a computer monitor into it?
b) This software will check that it is functioning correctly
c) If you have a game of some sort on your PC, you can try that?
Against the Storm caused my computer to reset after about 90 minutes. The error code I found was Event 41. The only other game I've tried was Factorio which has worked fine. The only other thing I've changed in my system was a new, bigger hard drive. I cloned my old hard drive which is still in my system but the new one is the bootable one.
GPU: Radeon RX 6750XT
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G5
I don't believe so but I wouldn't know exactly how to check. I installed it about 2 years ago and haven't had a problem with it so far.
Under-volting is a manual process... so it is not under-volted then if you or someone else attempted it.
Instability can be caused by RAM starting to go bad, or if the RAM timing has been altered manually... If you changed the timing trying to get more performance.
A faulty or failing PSU might also cause some issues... but 850 is MORE THAN enough for that load you are trying to run.
