Hi guys!!
I got so frustrated about getting my gpu work. I assure that I have installed the gpu correctly with an 8 pins and a 6 pins PCI-E cables in the PCI-e port. However the motherboard and the system seem cannot detect my new gpu, cannot see any info in the BIOS too. My cpu is i5- 2500k which has an integrated graphic card and now I can only use it for display. Got so frustrated about it, try to take it out and install it again but no hopes. I spent quite a lot time to build my desktop but just cannot get it work?!. I have thought about the insufficient of power supply of the psu before but what I can find online is that everyone seems to think for a psu powers more than 500w should be enough to run a system with one gpu... Does anyone have clues?????? I was so confused.....Plz help!!!!
I will enclose my pc spec (with urls for more info) underneath:
