I recently purchased an EVGA GTX 750 TI SC (for $140 including taxes, thank the consumerism gods) to upgrade my ancient gpu, an MSI r6450. I did a ton of research and was led to the card from an article on this site about the 750 ti being great for computers with 300w psu, its low power power usage and what not. I don't really have the budget to get a decent graphics card and a new power supply, so I went with this one.
I installed the new one, but when I powered it up, I got a normal post beep, but several seconds later it had not left the screen with the ACER logo and proceeded to boot. Instead, I heard another beep much lower in tone and nothing happens. If I leave the computer for a few minutes, this repeats a few times then goes to a black screen with the little white text indicator I guess you'd call it at the top left corner, after which nothing happens.
I'm wondering if I need to return the card because of this, or if there's something I'm missing. I realized after I put my old gpu in to post this that I never uninstalled the old drivers. Would that cause this issue?
My computer is an Acer Aspire AM3420-UR20p, although its standard wireless card and graphics card have been replaced, due to being unstable computer crashing garbage. My psu meets the minimum requirements. As far as I can tell, the motherboard should be able to handle it. The card doesn't need an auxillary cable, so...I just don't know what's wrong.
