http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doeventuallylic/display?docId=c03154290My pc is a HP H8-1214
When I bought it, I knew I would eventually need to upgrade the graphics card. So i put in a bigger power supply in: Corsair 700 gs
With AH3 out, the time update that GPU is now. Bought a gigabyte gtx 960 xtreme gaming 4gb card.
Installed it and when I power up the HP splash comes up and it just hangs there. Option on that screen to hit escape to goto startup menu. Do that and screen goes black.
Research is telling me it's a conflict with the motherboard bios and the GPU. Motherboard is a M3970AM-HP . Updated bios to latest version - didn't help.
Took the PC to a computer repair place today and in the tech guy's opinion the 700 watt power supply isn't enough. Recommended 1000 watt psu or bigger. I find that hard to believe since the gtx calls for 400 watt minimum.
Any input from you gurus would be appreciated because at this point I'm getting aggravated to the point of just walking away
