Ok, I preordered Alien Isolation for a friend and he needed a new graphics card in order to play it. So he got Pallit Gforce GTX 650 PCI-E after much research to make sure this is what would work for his Packard Bell Imedia X2416. He installed drivers. The monitor was plugged in to the driver, all that (but no 6 pin was included), the fan on the driver started (getting power) and when he started Windows 7 he heard the start up beeps but there was nothing but a blank monitor. After reading here quite a bit and talking to friends, he decided he needed a new PSU. So he got Antec VP35OP 350 watt power supply. He installed that today and same thing - start up noise, fan, screen is blank and then he gets blue warning sign that something is wrong, then computer restarts itself and process repeats. This is something he has looked forward to for so long, but we need help to get this to work. Any ideas??
Update: now that it has started the process of warning and restarting he can no longer use F2 or go to BIOS at all.

If the graphic card has a 6-pin PCI-E power port, that's not optional. It must be connected to the power supply.
Remove the graphics card and replace the old power supply to see if you can get your system to boot up properly. Then post the model number of the Packard Bell, or better yet, post a link to the system specifications.

When he got the graphics card it did not include the 6 pin PCI-E it did have the 6 pin power port but he didn't have the cord to connect it to the power supply, that is part of the reason he thought he needed a new PSU. I have shared with him both of your answers and will let you know the information you have asked for ASAP.

We need the actual model number of his PC.-Wolf sends
We are doing this over Skype as I read him what you say - thank you! He's looking - can't find his manual so he's going to have to undo all he has done and get on his computer to find out that info. I will post (or maybe he can post directly then) when he knows. Thanks again!
Actual model number is: Imedia X2416
Just told me this: Strange thing - I just changed the graphics card back to the old one and it's working fine now, so it's not the power supply which is messing up

You will definitely need the 6pin power connector. It should have come with the new PSU.
The cable looks like this:

It could be white or black, but the shape is the same.
Some look like this - which allows it to be either 6 or 8 pin:

He said he did get that with the new PSU and it was all plugged in properly to the new graphics card, he did put the extra 6 pin cable into the graphics card and it wasn't working. The PSU is working with the old graphics card but the new graphics card is not working.

Actually, this may be it:

I didn't see any BIOS updates though... Can you try another GPU? Maybe this one is just bad?

At this point I don't know if that GPU works.
You should try another, or return the 650 for another one to try out.
If neither GPU work on the system, it is most likely incompatibility with the mother board. Odds are it needs a BIOS update, but that system is somewhat old so PB may not issue a BIOS update.
Also maybe have him call their support line to find out if there is a BIOS file they can send him?

I read that GPU and graphics card can be used interchangeably - I'm sure hoping the graphics card isn't bad, how could he tell? It was fairly expensive and you know what a pain it is to return to amazon.com.uk. I'm starting to feel guilty for buying him the game on steam.

Thank you. I'm still on the phone with him (pretending to be at work) and we are trying. To a person as inexperienced as myself, it is starting to sound like he may be out of luck! I hope not. Am having him send me his system information now. Hoping that we can find a graphics card that will let him play the game.

Thanks, but this isn't helpful anymore. We already know the motherboard and system model.I'm sorry, but I cannot help any further.
I think you need to return the GPU and get another one. If that doesn't work, upgrade the system to something more recent.
I feel responsible as it was my insane googling and post reading that helped him decide to get the card that he has that evidently doesn't work. Is it likely that any graphics card will work on his system that is also advanced enough to play the game?

I hate to ask this - but he has this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009A4XO28/ref=oh_au...
Would this card not work in his system with the new PSU? I'm trying to decide whether to tell him to return and have the same thing sent or not.

On a typical system, that card and that power supply should work just fine (though the new power supply may be a touch light). It's really the motherboard/BIOS of that off-the-shelf system that is probably causing the issue, but we can't know that until we're able to fully test it.-Wolf sends
This is embarrassing to say - but he doesn't have any friends with computers with PSUs that could take the card to test (mine couldn't even if we weren't on different continents, and his friends that live near him couldn't either). So I'm just feeling responsible for encouraging him to get that particular card...the PSU works with the old card, everything seems to be fine except for the card, and I wasn't sure whether to tell him to abandon all hope and just get refund or return it and try a different card. So hard to know what to do! I had told him it seemed like the card worked since the fan worked on the card...but that clearly isn't the answer, and there seems to be no update for the BIOS on his motherboard...
you have been super amazing - I just feel really really guilty about leading him to this point. I can't thank you enough, I just want him to be able to play the game on Steam, seemed simple at first (for an idiot like me anyway lol)
Thank you so much for all your help! I just wish there was a way I could say with his system as it is could it run the card now that he has the new PSU...otherwise I don't know what to tell him anymore (I seem to be daft).

I know how you feel. We've all done that. Try to help but ends up not being so helpful...
I wish you luck. Unfortunately there isn't much left to do... Short of getting a 2nd gpu for testing (return the one he bought for another one) I don't have any other ideas... sorry!
