Need help with new graphics card
So my trusty GTX 555 is finally dying after 4 years and 10,000+ hours so I looked into an upgrade and heard the GTX 960 would be a good upgrade for an Alienware x51 R1. So I got a PNY GeForce GTX 960 from Amazon and installed but when I turn on my system it goes to the BIOS screen and sits there for about a minute and a half and it beeps about every 30 seconds after the screen came up. After the minute and a half or so it then goes to a black screen and says the make and model of the graphics card in the top left-hand corner for about 5 seconds then it sits on a black screen. Did I do something wrong?
System specs if needed:
330W PSU
Intel i7 2600
8gb RAM
Windows 7
No Events found!
