I have an HP Pavilion P6703 BV600AA Refurbished Desktop PC, with 700 watts on my power supply(KENTEK 700 WATT) that I bought seperately, and I currently use a Radeon HD 6670 graphics card. I just bought a brand new Geforce GTX 770 graphics card, and when I plug it in, turn the power on, the power supply light flashes for a slight second, then nothing happens, no power at all.
On the instructions it says I need a minimum of 600 watts or greater system power supply with one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI express supplementary power connector for each graphics card, and compatible with PCI express or up to PCI express 3.0 compliant motherboard with one dual-width x16 graphics card.
According to its requirements I seem to have everything it needs, unless i'm mistaken. My friend says I need a motherboard compatible with PCI-E 3.0 but that's not what it says above, and i'm not sure that explains the lack of power when I turn it on, does it?
I plug the necessary power pins into the card and make sure the card is snugly in.
So why won't it turn on with the card inside? Is my power insufficient? Is it incompatible with my motherboard, might I have it plugged in wrong, is the card defective?? What's the deal?
