I got a new MSI GTX 770 today and am unable to get my computer going with it. When I boot it up, several beeps are heard and nothing happens after, nothing boots up. Doing some research, I think the problem is either with my PSU or Mother Board.
The GTX 770 requires two 8pin PSI connectors that my PSU doesn't have, mine has two 6pin PSI connectors. The card did come with two 6 to 8pin PSI converters that I thought would fix this problem, but may be the reason it isn't working.
The other problem a lot of people seem to have with upgrading GPUs is not having compatible mother boards, which I know very little about.
Quick replys to what the problem might be is appreciated. I am willing to get a new PSU with proper 8pin connectors, and a higher max power, for mine barely meets the requirements at 600. But don't want to get one if un needed.
My specs are:
Processor: Intel Core i7-3770k CPU @ 3.50GHz (8 CPUs) ~3.5 GHz
System Manufacturer(motherboard): Hewlett-Packard
System Model(motherboard): H9-1387
PSU: HP, HQ-TRE, 71004 (600W)
Ram: 16GB
