Hi. Hope you can help me.

I bought video card (HD 7730) a couple of days ago. But the video card is not working, I looked in it's fan, it's not even rotating. After many tries of rebooting the computer, suddenly the video card was working and it was detected. I played games the whole night. Next morning, the video card is not working again, as well as it's fan. pls help

The PSU can power the computer fine, just you need different wires for it, which means you'd need a modular PSU or a PSU that you know has the right wires. Don't worry, we all start as newbies!

I suggest sending it in while your warranty on it lasts. If that doesn't work, take it in to a reputable tech repair store and see if you could get them to repair it for a decent price. If neither of those works, I'm new to the actual under-the-hood architecture of GPUs, so that would be the extent of my help.

I did. They tested the video card in their computer. It worked..... they advised me to bring my rig to their store so that they can fix my whole computer.

I also notice that the motherboard has 8 pin, but I'm using 4 pin in psu. has it anything to do with that?

A janky power configuration could do it. Try getting a bit of an upgrade for the PSU, maybe to a modular so you can pick which wires you'll need.

You have more than enough wattage than needed. Like turkey3_scratch said, I would return it. Since you said you bought this new, I would recommend you to replace it as soon as possible before it becomes too hard to return it.
