Hey all. So I bought a new GPU (EVGA GTX 750 Ti) and after I install it, when it gets to the Starting Windows screen, my computer either shuts down at that point or, more commonly, hangs there forever (after hearing some kind of "click" noise inside the case, almost like the sound of the computer shutting down). I am able to boot up to Safe Mode with it though, in which it says the graphics is something called Vgasave? Other than that, I've never been able to boot into Windows proper.
I'm running Windows 7. I don't think it's software-related, however, because I did try to run it on a fresh copy of Windows on a second hard drive and it did the same thing. At the same time I don't think it's the GPU itself because I had already bought a new GPU before this and it did the same thing. I sent that one back, however, coming to the conclusion it was a bad card. Obviously it wasn't (or I'm just very unlucky).
So I don't really know what else could be causing this. I'm not too computer tech savvy unfortunately, so let me know what other information you might need.
Things I know about my computer:
MB Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3
Intel Core i5 750 2.66 GHz
PSU Corsair 750TX 750W
2GB Mem
And the GPU I'm currently using and wanting to replace is a ATI Radeon HD 5850. Thanks for anyone who can help.
