PC restarting and crashing after installing the GPU

Not open for further replies.
My case is kinda weird, nobody I asked knows what to do. I bought the parts for my pc separately, and as it has a video processor (AMD Ryzen 5 5600 G) I was using the pc normally before my video card (GTX1070). It's a used GPU that my friend gave me, but it was in perfect condition and working normally. The first time the computer turned on normally, but after the drivers were installed and I restarted the computer, it started restarting non-stop when I turned it on, sometimes it got to the the windows login screen and I was able to log in, but the video got all pixelated and I restarted again. After a while, I noticed that if i waited a few minutes on the windows login screen, the computer would work normally and without any crashes, and I used MSI's kombustor to test the video card and see if it would crash the video or anything, but nothing happened, so the problem is only when windows is initializing. As a friend of mine had a power supply and a another GPU (RX 580) I decided to test both. With the power supply the same thing happened, but when I tested the other video card it stopped showing these problems and now it is working normally. Is there some kind of conflict between my pc and the video card?
Because i know for sure that the GTX 1070 is functioning normally in others computers.
 
Sorry but you have post on a tech forum asking for help but have provided almost zero information about your computer or it`s hardware, this makes it impossible for anyone to even hazard a guess as to what is going on.

Is the computer a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if a brand name, provide the model name or series number (not serial) if a custom build post the brand and model name or number for the CPU, MB, the RAM ( including the amount and speed ) add on video card if one is used and the PSU (power supply unit) providing these details will enable folk to better help you.
