Can't tell what is causing Cpu to shut down.

afromanzack · Jan 15, 2015

So I recently upgraded my Gtx 560 se to a Nvidia Gtx 660 ti for my computer and whenever it is plugged in the computer peripherals will start up really fast. The monitor shows the log in screen for a second then the computer will begin a cycle where it powers on like 10 seconds,(the keyboard and mouse light up, the monitor shows signs that its about to display something) then everything powers down and it restarts.

600 watt psu
i5 2550k
gtx 660 ti

I could possibly be that you do not have enough power

Don't know if this helps but whenever the gtx 560 is plugged in it takes about 30 seconds for everything to start up and boot properly. when the 660 is in the keyboard lights will load instantly then shut down in like 5 seconds.

afromanzack :

Can you give me the full computer specs?

Sig2525 · Jan 15, 2015

have you checked the 6 pin power connector if it is connected to the gtx 660 ti?.. have you checked if all the power connectors are attached properly to components of your system?

if they are then you might have defective gpu or a defective power supply (or your powersupply is not capable of running the 660 ti)

what is the brand of your 600 watts powersupply? i hope it is not electron or some generic psu because those psu would likely damage the 660 ti.

Psu is a evga 600 v. Motherboard is a Acer IPIMB-AR.

remove your RAM and then install it again,and then restart your computer..................

TechsavvyAMD :

have faced that problem many times after installing some new hardware or after cleaning my pc. it would start with the fans spinning then the fans stop and the screen would be blank.

you want to try the remove the ram and put it back again method. or remove the ram and place it on the other ram slot

Sig2525 :

If he would try with both the methods,it would be great...................
