Did you connect all the 6-8 pin connectors? Check all the connections again and make sure the GPU fit perfectly in the slot, it can sometimes be slightly crooked and not make good contact!

It was there perfectly. Question tho. Is it maybe because i am using a 600w psu when it says min requirements is 750w?

Well you are running some really power hungry components. Can you get a beter PSU and test it? The one you have, this is the first time I hear of that manufacturer, makes me doubt it's "600w".

Scratch that. IT"S A 24$ PSU. Mate, throw that out before it does any damage to your pc and get a branded 80+ PSU. Wow, that is a horrible chinese knock off PSU.

it could be that your psu gave out

Get the POS PSU out before it causes damage. Use it for target practice.

psu works fine because i am using the pc as we speak with the old card

[L0l0]

But i want to know if the problem is the lower wattage psu or it might be a gpu malfunction?

In what world did it make sense to stick a 300$ GPU on a 24$ PSU? My god man, throw it out!

well anyway get a new psu because it's not even 80 plus or bronze.

It's not even from a reputable brand! WTF is "Diablotek" sounds cheesy as hell.

Still that 600w PSU should run the GPU fine in the desktop and normal usage. 750w rec is for load. So, in game, if your PC shuts off, then it's the PSU not sending enough power. You may have got a bad card. I received a 7750 once with a bad HDMI out the box.

If I write 600w on a 12v 500ma adapter and pack it in a PC PSU case, are u guys going to trust it's a 600w PSU? Don't be naive, that thing can't even bust out 400w, just get rid of it. It's not the GPU fault, get a decent PSU man, you went cheap on the most important part of the PC.

Im going to upgrade to this http://amzn.to/1o3gd03 and i hope that it solves my problem. The card turned on fine when i turned on my pc but i was not getting anything on screen which is what confused me the most.
