Too bad motherboard for graphics card?

[TheGod]

I just bought a new computer and i put it all togheter and everything worked the first time i turned it on but the second time my computer didnt start. And my friend says it could be cus my mother board is too bad and my graphics card is too good. They are both LGA 1155 but one is just cheaper. My video card is gtx 770 and my motherboard is MSI Z77A-G41

What do you mean your computer doesn't boot? Did no lights come on at all? Was it just a black screen when you pressed the power button?

ummm, what?

You say both are 1155, but the GPU isn't 1155, that makes no sense.

And a bad PSU is a case for a system not working, not a too bad motherboard and too good graphics card. That makes no sense and would have no bearing on it booting or not.

There is no such thing as a GPU being too good for a motherboard. I wouldn't trust your friend to give you PC advice, as he apparently is not very knowledgeable on the subject. Power supply could have been not good enough to run everything. What power supply do you have?

This sounds like a short. Make sure the mobo is properly set and is not touching the case. also recheck the wiring inside.
For testing purposes, just remove the graphics card, and see if the rig runs with the igpu.

By the sound of his original question I don't think op would know what a short is.
