Display not recognized with 560 ti?

[hardtoexplain]

Hello,
I just purchased a 560 ti, and when I connect the card to the molex, my PC beeps four times, and just idles. I have to shut it down. The card has two 6-pin slots, though I heard only 1 of those slots are needed. Any idea what to do?

Hook up both , do you have 2 x 6 pin connectors coming from your psu? I

If not check the box and se if it came with any 6 pin to molex adaptor cables and use them.

It did come with adaptors, and I'm using them. My PC actually doesn't have any free 6 pin cables, just the female (4 pin I think) molex.

Basically, I have two free female molex, two adapters, and two 6 pin slots on the card.

You need a new PSU then.

Got it working. Had to connect the cables on each 6 pin adapter.

Correct, you need both of the 6pin plugs powered.

If your PSU doesn't have ANY 6 pin plugs however you need a new PSU. It's working now, but if your PSU doesn't have any 6pin plugs then its really old. A card like the GTX560TI will make that PSU work really hard when playing games and it could die. Again, I would get a new PSU.
