Problem after new Graphics card

Ray Gunderman · Jul 13, 2014

so bought a nividia 650ti boost for my computer and i have an asus M4A87TD EVO, with 10 gigs of ram,and i have a 700 wayy PSU but it is OLD like 5 years now, and when i try to play games it shuts my whole comp down and i have to restart, any ideas? i dont know whats wrong.

Probably the PSU is the problem here, which one is it? Also download HWMonitor and give me temperatures.

Tradesman1 · Jul 13, 2014

Did you clean out all the old GPU drivers before installing the TI? and do you have the latest BIOS and mobo drivers, all those things can also cause problems like this, though good possibility it is the PSU, might see if you can borrow one to test with, with a 650TI you should only need a good 450 PSU or better

i did clean out the GPU befor and installed the new drivers but how do i know if i have the latest bios or not and mobo drivers? i know i have kept most every thing i know how to up to date,

Tradesman1 · Jul 13, 2014

Check for the latest versions at the mobo website and compare them to the versions you are running (can get them from thru Device manager), simply boot to BIOS to find the current version

alright ill do that,

I think the PSU could easily be the problem. What brand is it?

Ray Gunderman :

run msinfo32 and see your current BIOS version then see the latest BIOS version uploaded

Ray Gunderman · Jul 14, 2014

so i looked and my bios say there from 2010? i dont know if that current or not though.

plast0000 · Jul 14, 2014

Ray Gunderman :

see your current version as shown in MSINFO32 and compare it to the latest version uploaded on the manufacturer's website

Ray Gunderman · Jul 14, 2014

okay ill go to the asus website

Ray Gunderman · Jul 14, 2014

so bios are old updating as we "speak",

Ray Gunderman · Jul 14, 2014

well im an idiot i cant get the new bios .exe to run idk what i did wrong,

plast0000 · Jul 14, 2014

Ray Gunderman :

asus uses a BIOS update utility and the BIOS ROM file is downloaded separately unless it's a laptop
what happens when you try to run it

Tradesman1 · Jul 14, 2014

Latest BIOS is 2001 and comes in a .ZIP file, unzip the file, put the .ROM file on a flash drive, boot into BIOS and run the update from the BIOS

Ray Gunderman · Jul 14, 2014

im not sure of anything im doing anymore, cause my comp says 2010..? and when i look up bios updateds on asus website i get like 7 diffrent options. but ill try what your saying. see if it works,

Ray Gunderman · Jul 20, 2014

so i used a windows tool and it fixed everything, i had to pay but it was only 4 bucks for the service, my drivers were installed but wrong so it fixed them and updated them all and now everything plays fine
