First of all, this thing made me so depressed I need help
I bought a zotac Gtx 660 2 gb from a guy met online
After buying it I found out that it requires a 450 watts PSU to run
So I bought a new 550 watts antec PSU
When it started first it crashed on after the welcome screen
So I checked it in my other Friend's PC n still it didn't work
I tried everything in bios
Nothing worked
So I just turned my PC off n fell asleep
In the morning when I woke up I turned back my old 250w PSU n just for checking n like a miracle it worked!!!
N this time fan was at normal speed
I installed all drivers
Played some games to check n it was working!!!!
Then I put batman arkham Knight on installation
While installing I went out to a friends home
When I returned screen was again black n there was no signal
I pressed restart n fan again started to spin so fast
And no signal on monitor
Plz help me guys
I'm dying to get it working
My specs-
Ram- DDR2 2x2GB(4gb)
Dual core 2.5 GHz
Zotac Gtx 660 2 GB
 
Guys!!!!!!! I SOLVED IT!!!! N YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE HOW!!!!
TODAY IT AGAIN STOPPED WORKING AT THE EXACT TIME IT DID YESTERDAY
AND THE FAN AGAIN STARTED SPINNING TOO FAST
SO I USED A LIL BRAIN
SOLUTION- I plugged the VGA cable into the onboard GPU
Entered into BIOS by pressing 'del'
And just rewinded the time to 3 hours before(23:00 pm)
And saved n exit
N while the windows was restarting the GPU fan slowed down!!!!!
N I plugged the VGA into the graphic card again n BINGO!!! IT'S working!!!!
 
Thank u everyone guys
This thing made me so depressed
I've googled about this problem n many ppl had the same problem but none find any solution
If u see someone else having the same problem tell him to try setting their BIOS time to 23:00 pm or any other
Thank u for helping me
From now I'll also be here to help everyone like u do
U have any problem ask me
I'm good at solving
 
It makes no sense, why does it stops working at that particular time...? I have not seen such a settings in BIOS where it disables PCI ex on a specific time. Even if you rewind the time 3 hours past then after 3 hours it will happen again and you will have to rewind again and again.... I would still suggest you to update BIOS. This is really weird...

Anyway i am glad you sorted it out.....!
 
Well...now I'm thinking...if it can be my BIOS problem then why it didnt worked in any of my Friend's PC...
Or maybe my friend has stole it from the bat cave
That's y it works only in night time to track criminals
I'm gonna name this card 'the bat card' XD
Still its unbelievable that its a time error
 
And for other ppl who can face the same problem-
You don't need to enter BIOS every time to reset the time
Just minimize your work or game
And rewind the time from windows clock n it'll work!
 
Hey guys
Yesterday I bought watch dogs, arkham Knight, unity, syndicate, witcher 3 and crisis 3 all together
I was running out of space to install them all so I deleted a partition of my HDD (which was 12 GB and had only a game NFS rivals) and swapped the unlocated space by the partition which contains all my games
I also unisnstalled ms-office 2013 , adobe Photoshop CC 2014 and adobe flash cs6
After 10 min GPU fan was running but there was no signal to the monitor
I restarted and the GPU fan again started spinning too fast
N now no matter what I do
It is not working
Right now I am reinstalling ms office 2013
