Hello there, I am having a problem with my pc. I inserted a new graphics card today and now my PC takes forever to start up.

This problem started the moment I inserted the new GPU (With first boot)

Does anyone know how to fix this?

CPU: Intel i3
Motherboard: MSI Big bang Marshall III
Ram: 10 GB
SSD/HDD: 125gb SSD
GPU: Gigabyte Geforce gt 730 2GB
Chassis: (I dont know what this means but if it is the PSU its a 582w Proline)
OS: Windows 10

Old GPU: MSI Nvidia 560GTX
I did try and uninstall the previous GPU drivers but not sure if i did it right
 
Solution
okay, well if the GTX560 stopped for that reason, then don't use it. Can you get a hold of a different GPU, just to try? It just makes it harder to troubleshoot if you don't.

so let me get this straight. You swapped out the GTX560 (the better card!) for the GT730 (the worse performing card of the two!)? Bad move if it was for a performance upgrade! If it was because the GTX560 was dead/broken, then okay, fair enough.

Chassis, doesn't mean the PSU. However, the PSU you mentioned, I can't find any info on at all. Which i suspect could be the problem. Because there is little or no info, I'd think it's probably a junk PSU and isn't supplying the power for your system to work right. I've never seen a PSU with a 582w rating. It's just so odd. Maybe take a pic of the sticker with the PSU details on it, and post it here, so we can review. Additionally, I'm not suggesting it's the GPU, just yet as the problem (GT730 causing the issue, because it uses less power than the GTX560) so it may just be the PSU failing.

So first thing, I'd suggest is trying the GTX560 if it still works. If that works in your system as before, you can rule out the PSU, as it's likely a driver issue, or a problem with the new GPU. If you still experience the issues with the GTX560 in, then it's something other than the GPU, and most likely the PSU, or perhaps ram/mob related, but prob PSU first.

You can check your ram using memtest to see if thats okay. and then rule out various suspect hardware until you narrow it down. You need to investigate a little :)
 


Thank you for the help Much, the reason I swapped the card was because the previous one's fan stopped and over heated. I'll definitely do so
