Problem description: I just received an MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC edition to replace the GeForce GTX 745 that came with the computer. Tried to install it today, and after installing drivers, I ended up getting a bunch of artifacting followed by a system crash. Sometimes it would switch back to normally displaying for a few seconds, but would always eventually crash. Here's what it looked like: https://youtu.be/KsgnDrj9K_Y Attempted fixes: Removed and re-seated card; removed card entirely and used onboard graphics to get into Windows and uninstalled all GeForce drivers. Replaced card (which displayed fine using basic Windows display driver). When it came time to reinstall drivers, artifacting and crashing returned. Rolled back drivers to the version recommended on the manufacturer website. No amount of uninstalling and reinstalling drivers of different versions would work. Recent changes: Removed a dead second HDD that was just taking up space -- Operating system: Windows 10 64 bit System specs: Acer Aspire ATC-705-EB55 Intel Core i5-4460 16GB ddr3 2TB HDD 300W PSU Location:  I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes I'm guessing that the card is just defective, but I'm worried that I hosed something up, or that the 300w PSU just won't cut it, even though the 1050 Ti is supposed to work with only a 300w PSU. Would artifacting and total system crashing (ie, computer just resetting itself) be caused by a defective card, or is there something super obvious that I'm loving up? I don't want to get a replacement and have the same thing happen.

Could be a couple things, but how old is the PSU and what make/model? As PSU's get older they will not output their rated amount of power and depending on your brand you could have bought a lovely one that will not last as long and output less/unstable power. You could try buying a power supply from microcenter or wherever, swapping it in and seeing if that resolves the problem, if not, return the supply and RMA the card. I would lean towards the supply right now, but you could also try to RMA the card first.
