Hey there, so I bought a new gtx 1060. My PC turns on for half a second and turns then off, over and over again. It won't even boot to bios, I think the GPU is blocking my computer from booting. I've searched online for solutions, but I haven't found any help. I installed my old gpu and it works fine.
Things I know:
The GPU is NOT broken. I returned the first one because I thought it was broken, turns out it wasn't.
My PSU has a low wattage (385W), but I'm pretty sure it is enough. I already asked about that and pretty much everyone said it's fine. Also, I currently have 8800 GTX, which has a higher power consumption.
My bios is extremely old, it's from 2009. I heard that this might be the issue, but I can't find any appropriate updates and I don't know which one I need for the gpu to be compatible with it.
My specs:
Intel Core i7-920
8800 GTX/GTX 1060
AcBel 385W (460W) PSU
Pegatron Truckee motherboard (Bios: American Megatrends 5.13 30/04/2009)
It's a HP Pavilion Desktop m9765ch running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.
