It probably needs its own seperate power source!
Your stock computer doesn't have the juice to run it

Go into your control panel and set the video adapter to VGA, uninstall the video drivers you loaded and the drivers for the old card. Then go to the MSI website and download the latest drivers.

you must've had move or unplugged something inside... or check if the video card is compatible with the motherboard... you can also try starting your computer in safe mode and checking if you have the proper drivers installed or that your PC knows that is running that video card and not the old one... remember not because they have the same slot means that they are compatible.

Either the video card is damaged or it's not compatible with your computer. And check your previous video card. If it's an onboard, you can't add another video card. Better unplugged it or your motherboard crashes.

Be sure that the temperature is stable inside the computer.
