i bought a corsair 430 psu and a evga 750ti sc with the intention of upgrading a prebuilt pc with these specs:
http://www.cnet.com/products/acer-aspire-tc-105-w-a-series-a10-6700-3-7-ghz-10-gb-1-tb/specs/
the power supply went in all fine and dandy with the old card it booted fine and has no problems, however when i plug in the 750 ti the pc refuses to boot and in fact freezes on the "acer" page. if i open the bios before the freeze i can use it for about 1 second before it also freezes and im unable to change any settings there.
if i plug in the old card the pc is fully functional and can boot and used normally again.
the fan on the card spins and i do not doubt that it is working however i did buy it 2nd hand however it was unused with not even a spec of dirt on it.
i am worried there might be some sort of compability issue and im wondering if there is anything i can do to make it work.
eventually after trying some things suggested to me by a guy on reddit i made it boot once with the 750 ti working fine. however once i tried updating its drivers it lost connection to the monitor and i couldnt see anything so i restarted my pc and it begun to do the freezing thing again
i tried repeating what i did to fix it the first time by flashing the bios with the latest update which did not help.
i hope somone here can help me as im really gutted that my first attempt at creating a somewhat decent pc is failing miserably.
thanks for taking the time to read.
p.s. my os is win10 if that matters
