I bought a prebuilt PCs from zoostorm and replaced the psu and added a graphics card. When I turn it on it goes to a zoostorm loading screen then a black screen with an orange light blinking on the case. What's gone wrong

Change the PSU, the CIT are one of the worst PSUs ever built. Although the GPU doesn't require a GPU.

Don't forget about low wattage Sentey power supplies. Sentey 725 watt? More like 450 watt in reality. The 750 ti shouldn't be using up THAT much power. Are the connectors for the GPU secured correctly?

For future reference, don't buy random prebuilts, either get the part and build it on your own or get some one to build it for you.

pre builds are a life saver if you don't want to upgrade or if you don't know sh*t.I wish i knew that before i bought mine :( still it served me well in the way that i learned from it what every component is,fairly well, and i could build my own system now.
