I just got a new PC, and it came with a GT705, but i tried to switch it to an old GT630 i had in my previous PC which worked just fine, but when i plug everything in and try to turn it on, the monitor wont show anything on the screen, even though the PC is on (fans running and everything)
I think it could be a PSU problem, since mine has 280w and the GT630 requires 300w, but after digging a bit i found out that my entire system with the GT630 included consumes less than 200w... So i dont know why this is happening, please help

Specs:
Intel core i3 4150 @3.50 Ghz
4GB SDRAM DDR3
Nvidia Geforce GT705/GT630


A PSU change is out of the picture because stupid lenovo people decided it was a good idea to put a 14pin conector, which I cant find ANYWHERE

I live in Spain

Also, try reseting the BIOS.
