[SOLVED] Why isnt my new gpu working?

[goaqer]

I bought a new gpu: nvidia geforce gtx 980ti. I went to test it, i put it in and started my computer completely fine. I downloaded the drivers. I could use google and other apps like spotify fine, but then I opened a game and less than 5 minutes in my computer shut off. I tried this multiple times. Then I tried to put my old nvidia geforce gtx 550ti in and it was running normally. Ive tried asking multiple people for help but nothing worked. If anyone can help, thanks.

Please provide full pc spec including make and model of psu.

A GTX 550TI requires a lower Power Supply. The GTX 980TI requires a bigger PSU.

What is your PSU brand and model?

Probably your PSU cannot give the juice to the 980TI and it shuts down your computer.

That or overheating.

Wattage alone is meaningless, we need make and model as quality is very important. A good quality 650w is probably enough but we need full pc spec to be sure. A low quality psu may only be capable of producing 1/2 it’s rated power and can be a risk every time you switch on the pc.
