Just mounted my new gtx 970, great. Everything is in place, and when i boot up my pc, there is fucking white horizontal lines all over the screen. And when i switch back to my old card everything is fine. What should i do?

Change slot. If issue persists, RMA.
DOA. RMA that shit and get a new one
First check drivers / try different display out. If nothing is wrong RMA it, its probably cooked.
I only have 500W though, could it be a power issue?

Doubt it. Never happened to me. I agree with the anons here. RMA it and see what you can do later
>>52049316
even if it could potentially limit your OC in the future you still loaded into windows so no 500W is meh but it's not it
try other slots & cables

Shit posters aside, try down clocking it by 10%-20% and restart each time, double check you have enough power, if all of this fails fucking DOA m8.

Never had a problem with Nvidia before this
I've known this feel from both manufacturers, OP, don't let anyone fool you with grass is greener shit. Not only my parts but parts I've ordered for other people's builds have been DoA.
DOA AMD/ATi:
Diamond Radeon 8500
Sapphire Radeon 9600
XFX Radeon HD4770
PowerColor Radeon HD7870 GHz Edition
DOA Nvidia:
BFG GeForce 6800GT
Sparkle GeForce 8500GT 512MB
EVGA GeForce GTX460 v2
Zotac GeForce GTX780Ti
My best advice is to have enough money to buy two of the graphics card and return the one that doesn't work or is redundant.

Haha, it's kind of a shame this happens so often. I feel like i have a curse on me. Every tech thing i buy is either broken or doesn't work as it should. Bought a laptop in 2010 for school which turned itself off at random times. My PS2 and PS3 just died some days after i got them. Two of my phones died only weeks after i got them. And now this card is DOA. Great.
