Hello,
First of all, i'll describe the specs of my PC:
Motherboard: MSI X58 Platinum (MS-7522)
RAM: Corsair 1333 MHZ 8GB
CPU: QuadCore Intel Core i7 920, 2633 MHz (20 x 132) OC 4GHZ
PSU: Agiler 1200 W (8 PIN + 6 PIN for GPU)
After i installed the GPU, the computer became EXTREMELY SLOW, so slow that i couldn't even move the mouse, i tried several fix on windows, since the CPU usage reached 100%, i found one finx that reduced the CPU usage to its normal state (disabling windows update), but the computer was still heavy and very laggy, after removing the GPU and using my old one (ATI 2600 HD PRO), everything went back to normal, so i'm wondering what would be the problem.
I'd like to mention that this video card i bought uses two 8-pin connector, since my PSU doesn't come with two of those (only ONE), i did this:
Used one of these ( http://virtuapin.net/images/adapter-2x-molex-6pin.jpg) and one of these (http://www.systemagnostic.com/wp-uploads/2013/02/2x6pin-to-8pin-PCIe.jpg) to get the second 8-PIN.
So, what could be the problem here?
1.) Software? since i switched from ATI card to NVIDIA card?
2.) PSU, since i don't have two 8-pin connectors (but i don't know why would this be a problem since my PSU has 1200 W)
3.) Video card is defective ( which i doubt because it was sealed and brand new).
Any suggestions to fix my problem?,
Thanks in advance.
