Question New GPU fan on, system not booting

[henry.j.kautz]

Hi, I have a system with an MSI h61m-p23 (b3) motherboard, an i3-2100, and an RX 460, which I just bought. However, when I install the GPU, the fan spins up but the whole system won't boot. I have an adequate 400W PSU...
What could be the problem? The card has been tested in another PC and works well.

make and model of the psu?

adequate 400W PSU

Define "adequate" - if by adequate you mean, it's simply rated 400W - that doesn't mean it's adequate.
Just have to make sure it's a good quality 400W PSU first. AS rgd1101 says, what is make and model of PSU before looking at anything else?

Did you have a previous GPU? If so did you clear all previous drivers using DDU before installing new drivers for the new card?

Raidmax 400W
I know RM sucks but 400W gives it ample headroom, right?
No previous GPU, and Intel HD graphics are disabled.
