Hi all. Card problems...I tried a 750ti and tonight a gtx 650ti card in my computer. It is a Hewlett Packard model h8-1070t, Intel i7, 8 ram. It came with a Radeon HD 6450 but I wanted to upgrade to play Wildstar, etc. I had a computer friend come out to try and get the cards working, we even put in a new PSU but the system wouldn't fire up. The only idea my computer guy had was that for some reason the mother board just wont accept the newer card. (If he is wrong, don't bad mouth him :) Both cards are new, the PSU we tried was new. Put the old PSU and card in and it works fine.

In any event, I am about to send this card back, but just wondered if anyone had any ideas I could try before shipping it back. Is this a rare problem? The motherboard I seem to have is Pegatron IPISB-CH2.

Thanks.
