My PC wont boot with ''new'' GPU but will with older one

[teediz2]

Hey, so I got a GTX 960 in november, it had no problem. I could boot my pc without a problem.

Fast forward to last month where one day I came back home, turned the PC on, and nothing. Now I thought it was the GTX 960's fault because with my old card (Radeon 6850) I could boot my PC up.

So I sent the 960 to RMA, got it back and still does the same thing. My PC wont boot with my 960. Even my keyboard doesnt light up when I have the 960 on.

For some reason i'm pretty sure it's maybe something to do with the BIOS.

I have Windows 7 64 bits, a A880G+ biostar mother board, 8 RAM.

Please send help.

What PSU do you have ??

What PSU do you have ??

I believe around 650 watts more or less.

The brand of the PSU would be helpful. Although even a shitty 650W is good enough for a GTX 960 considering that you said it could run a 6850 just fine...

Sorry, it's a Roswill.

My bet would be that the PSU is faulty. Most good PSUs should have a mean time to failure of about 20 years, BUT, as with any tech, things are not the same for identical components. If you have the buck for it, get an AX PSU (gold-something), and investigate if the problem persist.

Edit: an AX PSU is not necessary needed, but a new PSU is something you definitely should look into.

Sure thing, will try.
