Your powersupply is problem.get new psu and also you need to connect 6pin to gpu from psu.

You will see a six port connector on the back edge of the gtx 550ti, make sure you have one of your 12Vdc connectors attached to this port via a 4 pin to 6 pin adapter that should have come with your gtx550ti.

I don't believe your power supply has a dedicated PCIe connector (6 pin) so you must adapt a 4 pin PS lead to 6 pin. It looks like this -> http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/cputopiaonline_2248_24312261.gif

This 6 pin connection is necessary because the motherboard cannot supply the requisite power via the PCIe bus.

Upgrade your power supply as soon as a possible. You don't necessarily need more watts, you need more quality.

Which Psu should I go for
Is corsair cx 430 ok or antec vp 450 ok or cooler master
Extreme power 450 or fsp saga II 500

 

[JeauxBleaux]

Seasonic, Delta, Antec, in that order, would be my choice.

is corsair cx 430 not good enough to power it????

 

[ASHISH65]

Yes corsair cx 430w is more than enough.it can handle upto hd 7850 and gtx 650ti.never go for cooler master psus.

I am thinking of installin gtx 550 ti on my other pc which already cooler master 450 watts(i know cooler master sucks!!! but what can i do
