Ancient PC needs suggestions

[Sandeep24]

Hi

 

I have an Ancient PC. Core 2 Duo based.

 

Processor: Core 2 Duo 

Motherboard: Zotac G41 LGA 775 (Intel Based)

RAM: DDR2 (Dual Channel) 667 something MHz

PSU: 450 Watt (Not Branded)**

HDD: Samsung 320 GB 7200 rpm

Graphics Card: Zotac GTX 1650 OC GDDR6***

 

So my question is why PC doesn't run when the Graphics Card was Installed?

 

Initially it ran until the Nvidia drivers were getting installed.And when the setup completed I had restarted the PC. 

Then there is no display at all from the Graphics card DVI output to the Monitor. Graphics Card's Fan Running, CPU Fan Running. Hdd LEd working, but processor LED was not Lit. 

 

My PC had no graphics card yet until I bought GTx 1650.

 

If I remove the graphics card and then run the PC then it runs fine. Is the PSU not able to provide enough Power? This GtX 1650 doesn't need extra power from PSU. 

 

 

P.S. This PC I can't upgrade because it was built during when I was in school. So I don't want to change the whole PC. 

 

Will buying a good branded PSU from Corsair, Antec or Seasonic would solve the problem? 

 

Thank you all

Probably check the 12V rail of the PSU itself. Old PSU somehow (or even the motherboard) aren't designed for such huge PCI-e load. You can always try to swap and change components which one's works (try someone's else NEWER PSU first), but I thought more on the PSU that doesn't have enough juice. 

 

And. Yes. Please change your unbranded PSU for the sake of the new GPU. Don't kill it slowly.

Make sure the bios is set correctly to allow pci-e graphics adapter. You are likely still booting with the GMA 4500 graphics from the motherboard.

Bro, can you guide me exactly which settings to turn on in BIOS? Thanks

Here is the image of my PSU. Is the Power output good?
