Hi, I'm trying to help my son "build" his first computer. He plays Minecraft mostly, but wants to play Raft and City Skylines as well.
He bought a used, but functioning Dell Optiplex 7020 MT, i7-4790, 3.6ghz, 8GB RAM, running Windows 10. The original PSU says 290W.
He got this graphics card: ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce® GTX 1650 OC Edition 4GB GDDR6 (https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboard...-Cards/TUF-Gaming/TUF-GTX1650-O4GD6-P-GAMING/)
We bought a dual-SATA to 6-pin power cable.
I installed the card in the blue PCIe slot and connected the extra power cable. The computer would not respond when I pushed the power button (yes, it was plugged in).
The computer would respond and boot up if I unplugged the 6-pin connector, but the GTX 1650 card wouldn't work.
I tried to install the card drivers, hoping that might help, after downloading from the Asus site, within the GeForce Experience it says I should update the driver, but clicking doesn't seem to update it since it still asks to be updated after going through the install screens.
This didn't help the computer power up when reconnecting the 6-pin.
Would love any suggestions on how to make this work.
Thanks!
