“please power down” error

[tiattttt]

hi guys computer noob here pls help !!
i have a tc-895-ua92 and i just installed a gtx 1650 (i am liable to making mistakes to the installation since im pretty dumb so please take that into account). i was pretty sure i did it right cause it did little snapping noise until i turned it on and it said please power down and connect all pcie cables. however, i was under the impression that this gpu didnt NEED any extra cables and just ran off the motherboard, since my pc doesnt have any extra cables available. please help!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You might want to pass on images of the prebuilt you speak of and a link to the GPU. Are you sure you didn't disconnect anything from the PC before dropping in the GPU or even after it?

Depends on the model as there are factory oc'd models that do require extra power. If the card has a 6 or 8-pin connector it is required.

how do i check if it has a 6 or 8pin connector? Sorry im kinda slow

Looking at the the pic you posted it's a 6-pin. Now given that system uses a proprietary PSU. Your best option would be to return the current 1650 and get one that does not require supplementary power.

alright thanks so much! could you tell me what to look up to find a 1650 that doesnt need any extra cables ? ive tried but it isnt working out too well

Look at the manufactures specs it should say if it has a power connector or not. Pics of the card should also show if it has one or not.

A few options available new that don't require supplemental power:

RX6400 will not run its best due to the 4x PCIe connection. RX550 is technically no longer supported, but still capable of running light gaming loads. GT1030 is barely a video card, but again, can do light gaming. Intel A380 (Specifically the Sparkle, the others require power) is a risky GPU, not all games work with it, particularly older ones) The low power GTX1650 are sought after and command higher prices.

The latest 3050 6GB is also an option, but extremely expensive.

thanks! can you tell me if this is compatible https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YRXYDTT?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

It is, but as pointed out it only has a PCIe 4.0 4x interface. So in your 10th gen Intel system it will only run at PCIe 3.0, so the equivalent of PCIe 4.0 2x. Which is quite small for a GPU, with only 4GB of VRAM it is likely to have issues when you run a game that needs to constantly shuffle information in and out of the GPU memory.

do you have any suggestions for a better gpu ? for ref i just wanna run valorant whilte streaming so nothing too intense. thanks for your help!

 

[Eximo]

All the relevant choices are listed already. You just have to decide how much you want to pay.

sorry— i swear im slow in the mornings lol. is this the 3050 you were talking about? if it is, tbh, i dont consider $180 to be too bad, as the gtx 1650 i got was that price too.
