I was real excited to get a new GPU. The only problem was, the one I wanted was a little too powerful for my PSU.
I have a 600W from another computer that I tried installing.
The main power connector was a different size however.
If I did the right research(should have done that to begin with), I believe I tried plugging an ATX plug into an AT/LPX socket.
I got a few fan turns, and then nothing. I reinstalled the old 300W unit, and the same thing happens.
I knew what I was doing, and was prepared to accept the consequences, but now I'm asking for your help.
Can anyone give a best guess(es) as to what my current issue is besides being an idiot? Did I fry the motherboard, pop a cap, or worse??
