Check if the card is even running at all. If it is not, it either may be because of a) bad connection to slot b) dirty slot (although never had that) c) low power on the 12V rail d) CMOS battery is dead (not likely, could happen tho) e) card is broken.

Edit: i just saw that you listed hercules 600W max as psu. It has 24 amps on the 12V rails while the gtx 660 requires 33 amps. You need to try a better a psu or hook it up in someone's pc with adequate psu

hercules is literally the worse psu "brand" you can get

the 500w cant even handle 200w load

 

[maxalge]

yes lol i have triple checked all connections

you need a proper and real power supply

please dont try to use that with your gpu anymore, it will pop and might take everything with it

 

[Alex192]

Yep and the only gpu it will support are the gtx 750 and BARELY gtx 950 although i wont recommend it because if a 600W unit has such low amperage on the 12V rail, it only speaks for the components used. You should just be thankful that it didnt explode in your pc and replace it with a solid evga or corsair psu

ok i know the card is not broken, but that power supply thing seems quite possible so i shall upgrade asap
