Looking if GTX 650 Nvidia card can run in da078l boxer motherboard.

Hi there! I want to ask if it is possible that my Nvidia GTX 650 card can run in da078l boxer motherboard? the card gtx 650 says it needs a slot of PCI Express 3.0 x16 but the slot of my motherboard is only PCI Express x16 2.0 slot. Is it safe to insert my graphics on this motherboard? I have a PSU 450 W on da078l boxer. Thank you

1) The pcie3.0 is backward compatible to the pcie2.0x16, because your MB has the pcie2.0X16, you are fine.
2) Check the space inside the case for your gtx650, like the link http://www.adventcomputers.co.uk/product-support/how-upgrade-your-desktop-pc%E2%80%99s-graphics-card
3) What brand is your PSU? In theory, 450W will be more than enough, but if it is the no brand one so that the PSU does not have enough juice for the gtx650, the pc may not boot, black screen, or randomly shut down. Also if the gtx does overload and kill the PSU, and it may or may not kill other PC component too.

Huntkey is the brand of my psu. Thanks for answering, but my problem now is whenever i try to install the graphics driver it will have an error. i tried to uninstall the previous driver and restarted my pc and tried installing again the driver but it seems it cannot continue to install my provided driver. Is there an issue if the Operating System of my HDD is win 7 64 bit? or should I install win 7 32 bit?

You should install your driver according to your operating system version. What is your OS?

Win 7 64 bit sir. What do you think is the problem? The graphics driver can't be install but the other bonus features like the HD audio can be installed

then make sure you get the correct one to install on your machine. anyway try using DDU to do clean driver install on your machine.

Using the DDU to uninstall all the GPU driver first in safe mode, then reinstall the Nvidia driver from Nvidia site.

Also may update the BIOS too, if you can find one from the OEM site.

If you still have problem, recommend you buy other PSU ASAP. Which model is your PSU? Looks at the reviews for two Huntkey PSU, 450W and 55W.
