I built a computer in May of 2012 and purchased a Gigabye z77x-UD3H as the motherboard and an evga nvidia 670 gtx as the GPU (PC Power and Cooling 760 Watt Silencer as the PSU).
Recently, I ordered an evga nvidia 770 GTX SC and tried installing it in my computer.
It had an 8 pin and a 6 pin power adapter required and my 670 GTX had two six pins - one with a two pronged adapter to turn it into an 8-pin (two little white teeth connected by a wire to one of the original six pin power adapters - I'm assuming that's what it was for).
I plugged the 770 into the mobo and turned it on. My bios screen loads (Says gigabyte z77x-UD3H) with different 'f' key/a delete key options for booting in safe mode and a couple of other things. The computer sits on this screen for about twenty/thirty seconds then I go to a black screen with a white underscore in the upper-left hand corner thats blinking.
Does anyone have any advice on how to properly install this GPU or do I need a new mobo for it to be compatible? I have an SSD and an external HD and both were plugged in at the time of the boot.
