Athlon X4 950 + ASUS PRIME A320MA crashing by 1050ti driver?

so I'm having issues getting this used board to work with an Nvidia 1050 ti graphics card, it keeps freezing after installing the drivers and either black screen restarting or saying that the drivers failed to start and going to default windows driver, not sure if the board is messed up or what. I've tested the card in another machine and it works fine. also brand new ram but a used processor. maybe because it's an a-series? maybe a power issue? i wouldn't think so with a 500w psu 75w card and 65w cpu? also the computer seems to run fine before driver install and after drivers crash and use the windows drivers? This is so aggravating.
