So right now I have 350 Watts for my pc so when I placed it in and made sure, everything was working right, Plugged up my pc and hdmi cord and stuff, my tv still said no signal did I do something wrong or do I need another power supply? Will 500 watts support it?
 
The gtx 950 SC+ is a 110w card, with 350w PSU your are on the fringe, in theory it would work with a normal Pc configuration (90w cpu for example) but you have the PSU almost at 80-90%, if it's a bad brand or is too old then the problem could come by that, but its strange.
 

So It could be a problem caused by the power supply. This is my comp basically
I could upload a real pic if you wanted.
 


Could be but it's very strange.

You are not using GPU, only one HD and one 12cm fan, the wattage is more than enought.
Said that, a bad PSU give a lot of problems, and PSU have a lifespan because the electrolitic capacitors degrade with the pass of time and start giving more problems.

If the PSU have several years and mid or low quality components, probably is failing.

 


Ahh. I had this comp for atleast a whole year so far. Does the intregated gpu get in the way of this also?
