Problem with sapphire r9 270x

because it works with another card, what I can't check are the pci-e connectors

I mean that it's not because of the pci-e slot because the other graphics card does work in the same slot, the only possibility apart from the graphics card being broken is the pci-e connectors, but I don't know how to check them as I don't have another graphics card to hand to test them

Now I have my doubts about whether it could be the source, because it has already happened to me a couple of times, including right now, that my computer has suddenly turned off and turned back on, the source is from 2009 so well, it gives me something to think about.

I can enter the bios and I get color bars

@zaius If you have OC, restore the default values.
Pass the MemTest.

PD: If the computer is under warranty, make use of it.

@whoololon You don't have OC, and well the problem is in the graphics card, because you change it and everything goes perfect, the mystery is the graphics card doesn't work because of power supply or it's because it's broken, and unfortunately it's out of warranty, the computer is going to be 3 years old

@zaius Those "artifacts" in the colors look like they're from the graphics memory...

[zaius]

I have checked the voltages in the BIOS that the power supply is providing and they seem normal, would this rule out that the power supply has fried the graphics card? I had a gtx 260 die a while ago using the same power supply, a corsair vx 550 that I have been using since 2009.

Those values are at rest, so you know they are not rare by hand, but you still do not know what it does under load.

If the source is from 2009, and the board and graphics were new, but another graphics card had already died on another board with that same source.

So mini point for the source.

These are the values I obtained with the CPU at 100% I don't see any strange values

You have already answered yourself, with the CPU, not with the graphics...
If what you want is to stress the power supply, download the 3DMark or the burnIn Test or something that makes all components work at 100%, not just the CPU, since to give you an idea, an i7 can consume 100W, but a graphics card can consume 200W.

The thing is that with the broken graphics card, neither Windows nor Ubuntu starts up, I can't use any benchmark
