Is my Motherboard good enough for GTX 770??

[AzMoore]

Hi I bought a GTX 770 to replace my GT 610 when I put the GTX 770 in its comes on the bio screen and wont let me type on my keyboard, the only buttons that work on the keyboard are the caps/num locks and after a while it goes on to a black screen where a curser is flashing in the top left corner.
My mother board is H61MA-D2V and my power supply is OCZ ZS series 750w.
Can someone please help me!!
Thanks.

your pci-e slot is an x16 so i don't see why it couldn't. As long as your PSU has the necessary 8 pin and 6 pin connectors for the GTX770.

i.e. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4090#sp

1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16
(The PCI Express x16 slot conforms to PCI Express 3.0 standard.)
* PCIE Gen.3 is dependent on CPU and expansion card compatibility.

Ive plugged both 8pin and 6pin in the 770 and the fans work and it just comes up to the bios screen and wont let me boot it.

i would check to see if there is a BIOS update, and also check in BIOS to see if you have to deactivate the onboard dedicated video.

does your motherboard run off of a 4-pin connector or 8-pin connector?

4 pin connector

that will probably be the issue since most high end graphics cards require the 8 pin motherboard connector for the added power needed to drive them. in order to use the 770 you might need to upgrade the MB.
