Hello. First off these are my pc's specs:
OS - Windows 8 Pro 64-bit
CPU - AMD Athlon 64 3700+ (I know its old...)
RAM - 4.00GB Single-Channel DDR @ 157MHz
Motherboard - MS-7207 Version 2.0
Graphics - Onboard Currently, my new one is a XFX Radeon HD 5450 1GB and the drivers are not installed.
Storage - 186GB Seagate ST3200827A
PSU - Cooler Master Elite Power 460W ATX
Now by what I know my new graphics card needs either 400W or 450W. I have a 460W PSU so thats covered. I have tried disabling the onboard graphics and switching the primary graphics to the PCI-E x16 slot but it still doesn't make it to boot. The graphics card doesn't need a 6 pin power plug so thats not the problem. I'm worried that the card is dead because its out of the warranty period (I got it a couple of months ago but didn't have the PSU to handle it so I just left it off for a while. Idiot me huh...). The one thing I'm not too sure about is what version my PCI-E is so that may be the problem. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
