5600XT on a 500W PSU

[GalW]

Hi All,

I bought a 5600 XT as an upgrade for my 4yo+ PC without thinking about it too much. (which wasn't so smart)

I have an ASUS h97m plus mobo + haswell i7 4790, running on a 500W PSU.

after installing the GPU, the PC does not post. After removing it, there's no problem.

 

I assume this is due to an under powered PSU. is there any way i can verify this is the case before buying a new PSU?

 

if the PSU is indeed to blame, would 650W be sufficient?

 

Thanks for any help!

The whole system consumes less than 350 watts

 

What is the specific model of the PSU?

That sounds wrong - the 5600 XT runs fine on decent 400W units. Are you sure the card is okay? Did you install it correctly? Did you remove old drivers with DDU before installing it?

thanks for the help!

The PSU is a 500W enermax enp500ast

I think I put the GPU in correctly. It was firmly stuck in place and I connected the 8 pin power connector. I've now removed it so I can use the computer...

 

I didn't install any drivers prior to installation and there aren't any "old" drivers as I've been using the onboard card up to this point.

This is weird. I run a 5700xt on a 550 watt psu. 
 

what card did you have before this one?

That's a pretty crappy power supply sooo, might not be wattage but quality rather that's causing the issue

[GalW]

yeah, It wasn't a high spec machine at the time and it isn't now...

 

I guess i'll try to upgrade the PSU and see where that gets me. Though I get the feeling I'll end up replacing the entire PC piecewise.

 

Do you think this is sufficient? https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/power-supplies/mwe-series/mwe-gold-650-full-modular/

My pc is running a RX570XT which draws more power on a 500W therefore ur gpu is defective
