Hello I recently purchased a computer and my mistake was that I used a 500W psu when I had a gtx 770, now the computer worked fine 1 day but later the graphic card showed no signal to the monitor then I changed using the motherboard and did showed signals for a couple of minutes, now I don't get any signals from both. And I am wondering if I buy a better psu (750W) and change it with the one I already have, would that make my graphic card work again or is my computer "dead"? I mean there's nothing I can do now...
My build was:
i5-4670K
Msi gtx 770 2gb/oc
8GB Ram
500HDD + 120 GB SSD
Corsair CX 500W PSU
ATX 12V V2.3, 80 Plus Bronze , Standard. 2x 6+2pin PCIe, 5x SATA, 4x Molex

You need to get a new psu anyway - you need it to supply at bleast 42A on the 12V rail and 600W in toal to tun a pc with a GTX 770. You should get a good one - something from Tier One - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html#13224310

You need to list all your build - case, mobo, OS included

When you fit the new psu let us know whether your pc runs OK again. If it runs but not good, you should download and run HWInfo to get measurements of what your pc is doing.

If it still doesn't run then you should go through this checklist - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems

But I'm trying to know if the only problem is the psu, if I change it with a Corsair CX 750W PSU
ATX 12V V2.3, 80 Plus Bronze, Standard. 2x 6+2pin PCIe, 6x SATA, 4x Molex would that make my graphic card work again or it wont? So i dont waste money on a new one and I could give the computer back and get my money back and buy a new pc :)
