Computer keeps shutting down.

[Jakob_107]

Hi community at Toms hardware.

I have asked questions in here before, and try doing it again. I recently changed graphics card from: AMD Radeon HD 8760 2GB to GTX 970. And now I am trying to replace my i5 intel core 3350P with an i7 Intel 3770k. But after I have changed them, my computer keeps shutting down after 5 secounds. I suspect my power supply can not handle it, it is a 500 and think it can't handle both the new graphics card and the processor.
Here are my specs.http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/my-computer-details

The CPU I am trying to install : http://www.computersalg.dk/produkt/845243?varenummer=845243&utm_source=PriceRunner&utm_medium=PriceRunnerLINK&utm_campaign=PriceRunner

Hi, try starting the board with only CPU and CPU cooler installed, both 24 and 8 pin power cables connected. See if still restarting after 5 seconds.
What motherboard using?

 

[Jakob_107]

By starting only with CPU and CPU cooler I suppose u mean removing graphics card? I am not sure what you mean by 24 and 8 pin power cables.

Motherboard
Manufacturer Acer
Model Predator G3620 (SOCKET 0)
Chipset Vendor Intel
Chipset Model Ivy Bridge
Chipset Revision 09
Southbridge Vendor Intel
Southbridge Model P75/B75
Southbridge Revision 04

Then yes, remove the graphics card, re-seat all RAM sticks and test.

Should I put in my old graphic card, and what to you mean by re-seating all ram sticks. Sorry but I am quite inexperienced.

 

[alexoiu]

If the motherboard has video ports on the back I/O, then do not install the old card.

I watched your video, but I never touched the RAMs installing my new Graphics card should I still reseat them?

 

[alexoiu]

Sometimes it happens to accidentally displace a RAM module when uninstalling/installing components. It's up to you.

 

[Jakob_107]

Thanks for all your quick replies. I will try to remove my graphic card, re-seating the RAM and then seeing if it keeps restarting. But I am not that experienced, could it be anything else then the power supply?

 

[alexoiu]

A heating issue, if the CPU cooler not properly seated, or a CPU socket bent pins issue.

 

[Jakob_107]

Okay, I have had problems with my CPU cooler, earlier I made this thread about it http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2648148/changing-processor-questions-fan.html

 

[alexoiu]

Have you cleaned the old thermal paste and applied new one on the new CPU?

 

[Jakob_107]

I am trying to re-seat the RAMs but when I try to put them back in they don't seem to go all the way down. I am putting them straight back in, I havent tried turning it on with the RAM seated as such, and I am writing this from a differnt computer.

 

[alexoiu]

The latches have to come in place when inserting the modules. Check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKy8Kh7aq6U or similar.

 

[Jakob_107]

I'll try that. Again thanks for all your quick replies and your help.

 

[alexoiu]

You're welcome.

 

[Jakob_107]

I got a friend of mine to take a look at it, and he solved it just by putting everything correctly in. However, I would like to thank you for all your quick answers and help.

You're welcome.
