hi. I installed an EVGA 2GB NVidia GTX 770 based card in an HP desktop. the computer has a 600 watt power supply, which is the stated minimum for the card. The power supply had a free 6 pin and 8 pci pci express power connector, which I plugged into the card.
on boot, I get the bios flash screen, but then it eventually goes black with a blinking cursor and simply beeps. one beep, widely spaced. looking for the AMI BIOS beep codes, it says memory refresh. the memory is fine, as it worked perfectly with a different card. I removed all drives but one small SSD, and same thing.
does this sound like not enough power? what's my best bet - replace the power supply (not sure if HP is using a standard PS) or try a lower-spec card that uses less juice?
the machine has 16gb of ram (4x4), i7-3930k 3.2ghz, z75 chipset.
thanks very much in advance!
