HI there,

PC:
Corsair TX850W
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W)
Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Antec Kúhler H2O 620 Series 4 CPU Watercooler
Samsung Green (MV-3V4G3D/US) 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz 30nm Dual Channel Kit
Cooler Master HAF X PC Case

I never had problems with this build before. Yesterday I bought and installed a Gprahics card - Gigabyte Geforce GTX 560 ti and the PC does not start ever since :(

Took the card away - same result. I can see the PSU fans spins for a second and stops. All power leads are conencted - 24 pin, 4 pin, switch at the back of PSU is on. Tool away the 4 pin CPU power cable - all fans start spinning for 2-3 seconds and then stops.

Can't get my head around if this is PSU or Mobo or something else. Please help :|

Minimum Requirements for GTX 560Ti is 500W [Good Quality PSU]

You are using Corsair CX 430W , which is under your requirements & that is PSU is Crap.

So, Buy a new 500+ PSU (Tier 1 or 2) then Run your System.

Don't try to Run again & again your system with that crappy PSU, Your Whole System might gonna Die.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. I am not sure I posted the right PSU information. I definitely remember it being over 800w. I will post the exact number when I come home and check it.

Cheers.
