Alright so my MSI GTX 560 ti is giving me some weird problems. First I got it to run on a Antec Earthwatts 750w. I then updated the drivers and played some 3D game. About 5- 10 mins into the game, the computer suddenly died and would not power on. I then bought a new Corsair HX750 thinking its the PSU but I still have the same problem.

I took out the new GPU and inserted back the old 8800 GTS and everything runs fine. I then tried plugging in only one 6 pin for the GTX 560 instead of two and oddly enough it powered on with all the fans running and I hear the hard drive booting but I get no display on my monitor. What is the matter with the MSI GTX 560 Ti? Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
