I have recently purchased a used 3080 to upgrade my ASUS Strix 1070 (ROG-STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING) on my computer. As a result, I thought I could take my old 1070 and put it in my little brother's old horrendous prebuilt HP computer.
My brother's computer, many years back, had the stock power supply changed to a Cooler Master Extreme 2 625W and an ASUS GTX660OC (GTX660-DC2O-2GD5). The CPU is an Intel i7-2600 with 10 GB of ram... Additionally, the motherboard, after some digging up, is a Pegatron IPISB-CH2. As far as other power loads, there is a 1TB HDD and a 120GB SSD for the OS.
The system, although very slow, used to work fine with the 660. When I tried to put the 1070, which required an additional 2 PCI-E power pins over the 6 pin of the 660, the system would open, produce an audible BEEP noise, and then would stay stuck at the HP boot screen which tells you what button to press in order to get in the BIOS. The PC would be frozen in this state and produce maybe 3 more BEEP sounds. I was not able to access the BIOS and thought that maybe this old power supply, even though it is 625W, would not be able to supply the proper power to the GPU. One thing to note is that when I would open the system, the RGB lights on the GPU would open and stay that way while the fans would initially spin for the first seconds and then stop.
Would anyone know why this is happening? Is it the power supply that is not enough or perhaps the motherboard in some way is too ancient for this GPU?
Ideally, I would change his whole PC, but unfortunately, I do not have the economical means and thus I try to find the best and least expensive solution to correctly address this issue.
Here is a picture of the specific power rails of the PSU:

Thanks everyone!
