Hi,

First post for me as I am desperate to fix this.

I am trying to install a new graphics card but when I do it gets stuck at the loading screen and sits with a single beep from the motherboard every 10secs or so.

I am upgrading a gtx 560ti to 770

To do this I have removed all drivers and made the hardware change. This difference is the new card requires a 6 and 8 pin (old used 2 x 6 pins) so my PSU has a 6+2 pin that I'm using.

My specs are:

Motherboard IPISB-CH2 Chicago
PSU XFX 750w
Windows 8.1
I7 2600 3.4 Htz

Please any help would be great. When istalling the old card back in everything works.

Thanks

however it wasn't really useful to me.

Also the GTX 770 requires 1x 8 Pin and 1x 6 Pin.
So you're going to need 2x 6+2 Pin Cables.

Now looking a bit more I noticed your computer is HP, now this is OEM. Now your graphics card is a GTX 560 Ti which requires a 500W PSU and 31A on the +12V Rail. Remember this is OEM and HP is cheap and soo they're gonna use some cheap ass PSU to sustain powering that 560 Ti of yours.

The GTX 770 on the other hand requires a 600W PSU and 42A on the +12V Rail, I'm gonna assume your OEM PSU doesn't have that and this could be your problem.. the GPU isn't posting because it doesn't have enough power. However...

However if your changed the PSU do tell me, and if you think I'm wrong please take a picture of the information panel of the PSU and we can see just what exactly your PSU is supplying.

Thank you so much for your research. I replaced the PSU a while ago to run the 560. I installed an XFX 750w PSU which is more than powerful enough. Don't you think?

Really appreciate the input mate.

np, that PSU will do it just fine and room to overclock if you feel the need to.
I have the same exact CPU as you luckily so you shouldn't expect any bottlenecks from the CPU.
well plop the new PSU in and see how it handles the GTX 770

hmmm well that means the GPU isn't POST by the BIOS. Probably the BIOS doesn't support the VBIOS. Plop back in the 560 and find the latest BIOS update for the EXACT mobo make sure it is the EXACT motherboard, you don't want to go flashing it with some other crap. Anyway find the latest BIOS and flash the BIOS and install the latest one.
