Like plenty of people, I was trying to play diablo 3 on my underpowered onboard and it was lagging horribly. Decided to go with something a bit beefier. Before I give specs, I'm not really interested in hearing how I've bottlenecked my system or how this brand of whatever sucks. I'm just looking for some assistance.
The graphics card is a Geforce 550 GTX ti. Had to get a new PSU which ended up being a 600W Thermaltake tr2. Everything worked as expected until I tried to actually play Diablo 3. My system immediately shut down. Now, whenever I have the GPU plugged in, the system will not start. I have to unplug the GPU and the PSU and wait a few minutes. If I plug it in while the system is on, it shuts down the system immediately. The PSU says it's guaranteed to work with all NVIDA cards. I called the PSU tech support and they suggested I check the +12V rail, but the BIOS doesn't display it and I am not handy with a multimeter. I don't suspect it's the mobo because it works fine if the GPU isn't powered. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
