I just bought a new computer with the motherboard and cpu wanted and my other computer had the gpu and power supply I wanted so I decided to combine them. My old one is a well old computer. It is a lenovo k330. Before It had the graphics card that I am having a problem with. When I first got my new computer though I put the 260 in it and it worked fine. I could install the drivers and everything. It at the time had a 500w power supply and worked just fine. When I swiched power supplies and graphics cards though it didnt seem to work. It powers on and I have the DVI connected to the graphics card and it works on the monitor. When I turn the pc on it even says GeForce 260. I have no idea what is wrong with it. I read somewhere that it could be that there is not enough power that can go to it but it worked on my newer pc just fine with the 500w power supply. I would like to sell the computer so if you could help that would be awesome. The problem is it is out of proportion and looks like it has not video card in it. (windows toolbar cant look clear, out of proportion, and just plain low res.) When I go to download the driver (to see if it helps)

New PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom ii x6 1100t (@3.4)
GPU (before swich): GeForce 260 (I put that in just for a few days)
PSU: 500w thermaltake
Motherboard: MSI 880g-e45
HDD: WD 250GB
OS: WIndows 7 Ultimite (32 bit can be 64 bit)

Old PC Specs:
CPU: i3 2100 (@3.1)
GPU: AMD Radeon 7870
PSU: 700w RocketFish
Motherboard: Retail Motherboard for k330
HDD: 1TB (retail hdd)
OS: Windows 7 Home OEM (32 bit)


Thanks so much,
Dan

FIXED IT: I went into my device manager where it said something was wrong. I installed the driver from there by right clicking it to properties then found the install driver then let it find it automaticly. After restart it works great now.
