Help Me Some1 PLZZZ

[AlvaroEstebanez]

Im new to this , i had a Gtx 950, 8 gb RAM, a i5 6600(not k) and bought a 500w EVGA 80 + bronze. The thing is it didnt booted up. i tooked to the pc guy at the bank my dad works on and he said that all burned because the wattage wasnt enough for the gpu ,that i needed like a 800 w psu. Is that true?? Cause i looked in lots of websites and i found out that i only neede 90w for the 950!Plz help mee!!

And my ram was Silver and some people said that it was server ram PLZ HELP

I would definitely check the RAM.

 

If it is ECC (Error Correcting) RAM on a non-ECC motherboard it's probably not gonna work.

 

Do you have the motherboard model number?

That guy is an idiot and no wonder he works at a bank. Are you sure you plugged everything in?

Your system is not burned and you do not need 800 watts, 500 is fine. Is the ram ECC?

[CubisticWings4]

Your power supply is more than enough.  NVIDIA rates the GTX 950 at 90 watts.

ECC RAM will usually still work in a board that doesn't support it. Registered RAM will not work since they have extra pins.

You're right! Thanks for correcting me.

Common mistake. People confuse registered/buffered with ECC.

Probably something not plugged in or some wires might be busted (which sometimes happens, depending on your cable management).

 

First thing you can do is try to start it up without the GPU, see if it works.

 

If that doesn't work, then make sure the PSU works on an already working PC, check the cables for any tears.

 

Check the RAM on an already working PC.

 

If those 2 work, check CPU on an already working PC.

 

If everything works, then it's definitely the motherboard.

 

It might not be your fault at all, things tend to break. I had a MB breaking on me out of the box.
