Graphics card turns off

[mufcv20]

My graphics card turns after few seconds of booting.
I recently changed my hardware.
My new specs :
AMD FX6300
MSI 970A-G46
Corsair Vengeance 8 GB
Sapphire Radeon HD7770
Corsair CX430

Is it because of the PSU?

By "Turns Off" do you mean that the fans stop spinning or the GPU just doesn't work?

BUT the wattage on your PSU is very for a graphics card. A 500w PSU is the minimum requirement for this card. Are you powering it by connecting it to the PSU?

the hd 7770 worked fine for me on a corsair cx400 (400W) psu. it's an 80W card. I know, i owned one. I was running it with a 125W phenomIIx4, his 6300 is a 95W cpu, he shouldn't be having an issue.

I Apologize. When has this problem started happening? If you got it today that it might be a faulty card and you may need to order a replacement.

Yes, the fan stops spinning after 3-4 seconds.

I've been using this card for a few years. It still works on my old motherboard with a Core i3 540(3.01 Ghz).
I don't think there is an issue with the card.

Yes, the fan stops spinning after 3-4 seconds.

The fan may automaticly start spinning when the GPU gets warmer. Does it show up in windows?

Right click on desktop > Resolution > Advanced Options

P.S: My fans do the same thing, as soon as I boot they turn on then off then on again.

The computer is not booting up. There is no signal on the monitor.
Also my motherboard does not have on-board graphics.

What are you using to power this graphics card?

 

[mufcv20]

The 6+2-pin PCIe connector from my PSU (CX430)

Right. I have a feeling it is your PSU then. As it is a low wattage of 430, It might not be able to power it fully which is why it turns off. I wouldn't be your motherboard though. I would get a 550 to 600 watt just to be safe but that's the only thing that I can think of now.

My graphics card is running fine in my old pc which has a 450W power supply.

 

[mufcv20]

I am getting a CX600. Hope it works.

I am getting a CX600. Hope it works.

I have the CX650M. Great PSUs.

i would suggest you try CLR_CMOS before you buy a new power supply.
