I got a GTX 1650s (/super) today, upgrading from a GTX 750TI & after putting it in (twice to ensure it was in properly) the PC just shuts off after turning it on, then repeatedly tries to turn on but constantly fails.
It sometimes gets to a point where it stays on with a blank screen, but if i power it off, it shuts off immedietly. Hope someone can help, please :'
(the card spins & the white light is on, aswell. Tried without the 6pin power thing, but the light goes red and nothing works still )

Solution
Mixing memory can lead to all sorts of issues. I would suggest removing the 4GB memory stick while troubleshooting to reduce the possible technical issues you are dealing with.

Try with only the 4GB stick. Also, in your BIOS, is the memory speed set to AUTO or DEFAULT? If not, it should be.

Have you reset the BIOS during your troubleshooting?
wow! it actually got to my login screen! it works so far, i cant believe it; thank you so much as well as everyone else, of course for helping too! :giggle:

What exactly was the problem? was it definitely the power unable to keep everything running? Incompatible type of memory or something? (it wont blow up on me or anything, will it..?)
Honestly, i cant thank you guys enough

Glad you got your computer running, now just gotta get some suitable ram!
When you get new ram remember to use the 1st and 3rd, 2nd and 4th as pairing locations!
just in case this wasn't something you already knew.

I will keep this post tabbed in case you run into more issues :)

Good Luck!
