Firstly, here are my full specs:
I bought a GTX 970 (link to card) and after installed it and turned on my PC eventually the boot screen comes up (something resembling this). If I press DEL, F9, or any other key nothing happens, although after a few seconds delay my computer makes a beep sound as if it has received the command. After about 30-40 seconds of the boots screen it then continues to a blank black screen with a flashing underscore in the top left corner. When I install my old graphics card again it works fine.
I went to my local PC repair shop and the guy tried to install it but was unable to, and said it's most likely a problem with my PSU, apparently it's too low Wattz. I then rung up the support line from the place I bought it from and they said it's most likely a problem with my hard-drive (granted they were only basing this of what I said, but I thought I described the problem as best I could). Thankfully they gave me a full refund but I still wish to upgrade my graphics card.
Any help would be appreciated and if you need any information I may have left out I will be checking this thread at least twice a day.
Thanks
