Hi peeps, hoping you guys can help.
As the title suggests, i'm very new to technical PC stuff, so apologies in advance for anything that does't quite make sense or more to the point, i don't understand what you're telling me!
So, to explain, I have an ADVENT PC, i7-3770 3.4ghz quad core, 12GB RAM, 2TB hard drive, nvidia gt630 2gb ddr3 graphics card.
I've had this computer a few years now and decided i would have a go upgrading it.
Firstly i bought a new GPU, a EVGA gtx950 sc. but as i only had a 450w PSU, i bought a g7 780w psu from Maplin.
The psu all went in ok, system worked fine. I then put in the graphics card, and this is where things have changed.
Basically after uninstalling the driver for the gt630, windows didn't detect any hardware changes, so didn't install any drivers for the GTX950.
I connected the PCI-E 6 pin from the PSU as required, the fans spin on the card etc
After then having blank black screens through trial and error and reading horror stories about what i potentially done though BIOS, i've since reinstalled the old gt630 and everything works as before EXCEPT on system boot up, after one beep from the mobo before loading windows, the system turns off, then restarts automatically and loads as normal.
I've read things about old drivers needing to be removed??
Any help would be appreciated as i've now ended up with a slightly glitched PC and a EVGA paperweight - wasn't quite the plan!
Thank you
