The thing is, I have a gtx 750ti and everytime I place it in (it fits), it stays on for 30 seconds and then it turns off, I was thinking it was my Power Supply but it's not, I was thinking it was my motherboard but you're saying it's compatible, you have any idea what I should do?

Yes I do, I see something called American Megatrends where I can choose a button to boot up the BIOS, but after 30 seconds of that it turns off

I'm sure it's not, but it's a power supply of 500 watts

I don't think it's a known company?
It's an Edge Systems power supply with 500 watts I think it's model is a AF-B500P

That's the heatsinc. There is some thermal paste on the bottom of that correct? Usually it comes pre-applied on stock coolers, but if it didn't, that's most likely what you are missing. I hope you did install it right? It isn't just sitting there right?
Also, if your PSU isn't 80+ certified, they will usually kill your system.
You shouldn't cheap out on a PSU.
Last thing, what CPU did you get.
-Let me know

Nope, it was pre-applied in there, I did not install that.
And my cpu is a Intel Pentium G630

You have a ridiciculous amount of dust in there. Your CPU may be overheating just because of the amount of dust in there.
Clean that out and see if it does anything.

Ok remove the CPU heatsinc, make sure it's clean, make sure there's enough thermal paste on it (the CPU), and then re-seat the heatsinc.

Alright I'm going to try that out, but I'm more than sure it's my motherboard that's the problem, my BIOS is too outdated, and I've failed to update it due to the weird motherboard I have, sadly I need to make changes and so many things in my motherboard to update the BIOS.

Hmm...Try this.
Remove the graphics card (evga gtx), and plug your monitor to the Intergrated Graphics Card.
See if that does anything different.
