    Exclamation Graphics Card won't work..?

    I've bought an ASUS GTX 750Ti OC and tried to install it into my computer, in the PCI-E x16 slot but there is this 6-pin power thingy on top of the card.. In which case I don't have in my machine atm., I've ordered a 2x4-pin to 6-pin molex.

    Here is what I've tried so far:

    - I've replaced my old card with my new card without a 6-pin power thingy. (The little LED turned Red)
    - Tried to plug a 6-pin from another power supply from another old computer, than from my computer. (The little LED turned Green)
    Nothing on the screen.
    - I tried to plug a VGA cable from the motherboard's output. (Tried to go to dxdiag, showing nothing about a new card, no driver either.)

    I gave up at last. Couldn't think of any other ways.

    Specs:
    Processor: AMD Phenom X3 8550 @ 2.21 GHz. 1 processor, 3 cores
    Motherboard: PEGATRON CORPORATION NARRA3
    Memory: 4096 MB DDR2 SDRAM 402MHz
    Power Supply: HP 300W POWER SUPPLY 5188-2625 DPS-300AB HP-D3057F3R

    Make sure you've installed your new drivers and removed your old ones. Secondly, the rest of your rig is really, and I mean really pushing it on what it can handle. I'm going to be perfectly blunt here, your motherboard is a heap of shit, as is your RAM. The 2 biggest problems though are your PSU and your Processor. Your GPU, to lay it out clearly, isn't strong enough to power your new Graphics card. In addition, you're not going to get much out of it at all due to the incredibly low output of your CPU, and it's going to be bottlenecked to hell and back. I know this is going to sound insane, but I'd honestly suggesting scrapping your entire rig, and starting from scratch. What we have here is you dropping a Jet engine into a rusty bicycle. It's not going to work out, and it can possibly damage your new card.

    Your PSU wattage is wayyy to low for it to run that kind of card, you would need at least 550w to be safe maybe 600w.

    300w. Wow. You're going to need an upgrade for your PSU. Then MAYBE you'll be able to use that card.
