Amateur here. I have an Acer Aspire, i5, 12GB, Intel graphics.
My brother gave me a GTX 770 (five years old) he wasn't using. I noticed the power supply did not have a PCI power supply connection. My brother said the card might work (he couldn't remember whether he plugged the PCI power in or not). The pc boots, beeps once, and the GTX fan starts, but that's it. Display says "No Signal" then goes black.
I'm assuming this is b/c of the missing PCI power connector. Please advise if this is the main problem or perhaps something else is causing it.
Thank you.
