Black screen / freezing on desktop with new RTX 5070 Ti and Corsair 750W PSU

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I bought a new graphics card and PSU (Corsair 750W Gold Plus ATX 3.1, specifically for the 5000 series). However, when I boot up my PC, Windows loads, I get to the desktop, and then it either freezes or the screen goes black after about two minutes.

I know my current setup isn't ideal for this GPU and that it will bottleneck, but I wanted to replace my old RTX 3060. Right now, I can't even use my PC for basic tasks, let alone gaming.

My PC Specifications:

  • CPU: Intel Core i7-10700
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus B460 Pro AC
  • RAM: 32 GB
  • GPU: Gigabyte RTX 5070 Ti Eagle OC
  • PSU: Corsair 750W Gold Plus ATX 3.1

I'm planning to upgrade my motherboard and CPU later when DDR5 RAM prices drop, but I need to fix this freezing/black screen issue first. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thanks!
