Thanks for any help in advance!
I bought an Asus Strix gtx 970 4gb graphics card today and I was really excited to put it in. I took out my gtx 660 2gb card and put the 970 in, however, as soon as I did this my PC wouldn't turn on. I had the power cable plugged into the PC with the switch being turned on, but when I pushed the "on" button on the front of my computer it didn't turn on, no lights turned on (except for the white one on the graphics card, but that was already on as soon as the power switch was turned on) and no fans begun spinning at all!
I have taken the card out and attempted turning it own, worked perfectly.
I have put my 660 back in there and attempted turning it on, worked perfectly.
But for some reason that I don't quite understand, the computer simply wont run with my 970 in there! The rest of my specs are
CPU - i7 4790
Motherboard - gigabyte ga-h87m-d3h
PSU - 550w FSP Raider RA550
Is it possible that the PSU wasn't supplying enough power to turn on my PC with the 970 in there? If so then that's really weird as I made a thread in here asking if all these parts were compatible and out of all of the responses they all said I shouldn't have any problems!
Can anyone help? Reeeally hoping I don't need to spend more money on buying another PSU...
