Probabl your old card. I have a 460, a 550 Ti, and a 560 2gb and the both x60 cards are better than the 550 Ti.

Just get a new card, the 560 2GB ca be found for like 40 bucks on ebay. That's where I got mine,

Yeah, don't use molex-to-anything. Don't cheap out on power supplies, that's how fires start.

Get a better power supply and a better graphics card. The 650 Ti 2gb is also only around $40.

Thanks man I buy a true rated PSU now with 6 pins and I think it will solve my problem and also i saw the connector that I buy it has a minimal burn in the wires so I immedietly remove it and luckily my pc is running I'll just wait the PSU to arrive. thanks ^^

Check your HDD speed with CrystalDiskMark software and set it to 1GB.
If the PSU problem didn't solve your problem its either your Single Channel Ram or your CPU which has very low multi score.
What games are you playing, and at which graphics, resolution settings are they at?

It seems that his PSU was the problem, card wasn't getting enough amps.

the 550Ti is a really old card, I have one, as well as some other Fermi cards and the 550 Ti is the weakest. Don't let the "ti" badge fool you, that's like putting a turbo sticker on a Fiat Panda.

nah the A4 6400K is pretty alright, same-ish performance as a low end first gen i5, or Core 2 Duo E8400.

Your computer is pretty weak overall, I'd recommend getting something new.

Yeah, that Neutron PSU is definitely not 700w. probably 285W.

Do you just not have any money?
