I just got a new power supply and installed it in my computer this morning, but when I turned the system back on, there was no signal from my graphics card. I have a Geforce 560 Ti card and when I turn the power on, the fan runs but there is no signal. I am using a HDMI cable. One other thing, I tried the onboard graphics and it worked except that windows needed to do a system restore (which I thought was strange). I ran 'dxdiag' and my computer did not even recognize my card (which I unseated during the installation of the power supply). Halp me!

That is my new psu.
Previously, I had two pcie cords attached to my graphics card, but this power supply only has the one pcie cord.

No, he gave the EVGA Supernova G2 750W (a great PSU) a 9.8 rating. Check the link again.

They should be fine, that PSU is Tier 2 Class A so should work no problems. Thing is, for less money you can get an AMD card comparable to a GTX 770, an r9 280. This one is only $200! (Add to cart to see the price) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... The downside to AMD cards is they generally use more power, so maybe use the extra money saved on the GPU on a slightly better PSU like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

What I am saying is that the PSU you have is not good, and worse than junk, it could potentially be downright dangerous. change it ASAP

A lot of things come into this, I'm not a PSU expert like JonnyGuru but everything from capacitors (Japanese > Chinese capacitors) to wire quality affects efficiency, safety and quality of the PSU. Next time you look at PSUs, either choose one from that list (id say Tier 2 Class B upwards) or look at PSUs on the market, then look at that list. Avoid anything Tier 4 or 5, 3 is OK but get a slightly higher wattage in Tier 3 just in case

I assume these two are compatible? (I am still a little confused how they notate the pins.)

Yeah I saw that when I looked back. On the back of the power supply, there is only one pcie red cord coming out with 4 black regular ones. So maybe they packaged the wrong power supply.
