X51 R2, Radeon R9 270, blocky lines

Question

My X51 R2 has a AMD Radeon R9 270 card that has every indication that it has gone bad. Blocky lines and such. I tried updating the driver with no luck. My question is, could a weak power supply have the same symptoms? I have no reason to think it's bad, but I would hate to put out hundreds of dollars and still have the same issue if there just wasn't enough power getting to the card. Is there a way to self test it?
