MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! I HOPE YOU ALL ARE HAVING A BETTER CHRISTMAS THAN I HAD!


I have an Acer Predator AG3620-UR20P. I got this 4 years ago because I had no knowledge of computers. Since then I have figured out that the GPU is utter trash. I can barely run any modern made game except CSGO.

For Christmas I recieved a EVGA GTX 960 2GB and I was extremely excited to install and play rust and h1z1. After the help of my friend I installed the card and when we booted up the computer - it showed the acer screen with the del for bios. I let it load and it did 3 beeps 30 seconds in between each one. After the 3rd beep it would become a black screen with a blinking white cursor. I then shutdown and tried it again, this time I tried entering the BIOS settings. It froze and nothing happened and went back to beeping and the black screen. When I plug in the old GPU everything boots fine. This is very disappointing - I was extremely excited to run all the newer games 1080 with 40+ frames. I have spent 6+ hours working on this and trying to fix it. If you know the problem please comment ASAP!!!! THANKS!

SPECS:
Intel i7 3770k 3.4 ghz
Windows 10 Pro
NVIDIA GT 630 2GB
12GB DDR3 memory
2TB Hard Drive
Motherboard: Intel b75 chipset and or its an IPIMB AR. It doesn't advertise the motherboard.





 
So I have a prebuilt and I figured out that acer limits the BIOS and so it doesn't accept any new hardware. So, tomorrow I'm ordering a new motherboard and all should be working! Thanks for the help!!
