Hi everyone,
I'm new here, and I'm curious about the problem I'm facing as mentioned in the title. I'll give some more details to help you rule out any problems:
- My PSU has been changed recently(2 weeks ago), when my previous PSU just blew up or sparked and stopped functioning. The new PSU is brand new.
- Before the previous PSU blew up, the graphic card seemed to function fine, being a 1 year old Nvidia GTX 560ti (forsa). The only irregularities were the occasional messages stating that "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" following some graphical glitches.
- Now the PC boots up only when the GPU is detached. However, on attaching the GPU, it's fan seems to work and eventually after about 5-10 minutes or so I hear a beep.....that's it.
- Since I'm a complete newb when it comes to hardware, I noticed that there are 2 sockets in the GPU for 6-pin connectors and only one of them is connected. I mentioned this since I'm not sure if both sockets should be connected or not.
