Okay so I’ve installed a new graphics card onto my system, the 950 2GB from Zotac, when I attempt to turn on my computer it turns on for 2 seconds and turns off

 

My specs 

 

CPU: A10 6700

GPU: GTX 950 (formally 750ti)

MOBO: A55BM-A/M32BF/DP_MB

PSU: CX 750M Corsair 

RAM: 2 x 8 GB Corsair DDR3 (no clue about the MHz) 

Storage: WD Blue 1TB


Note: System was working adequate before GPU upgrade, apologizes for the cable management, I’ve been trying to troubleshoot this all day.

Well for starters, your 4 pin CPU cable isn't plugged in.

 

Triple check and make sure you didn't loosen any cables. Make sure your GPU is fully inserted. Does it boot up when you put your old graphics card back in?

The picture looks like it wasn't, apologies.

Make sure you quote people so we can see your responses.

 

Since you have an APU, what happens when you try to boot with no GPU?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Remove the CMOS battery, wait 30 sec, refit and try to boot.

Tried that, still didn’t work
