I own the following GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti SC 2GB GDDR5 P/N: 02G-P4-3753-KR. This draws power from the motherboard. Recommends 400W PSU
I decided to replace my 550W PSU because of a noisy fan with: EVGA 500 W PSU, P/N: 100-W1-0500-KR
After installing the PSU as instructed (minus the PCI/E cable, as my GPU does not need or have an input for this), I booted up. Computer power seems to work fine, but my display is stuck looking for a source. I removed the GPU to try and use the integrated display card, and had the same issue of black screen while monitor looks for a source. I reinstalled the GPU and old PSU, and the display returned to functionality.
I've begun a return process with Amazon for the PSU assuming it's defective. Would appreciate any comments if there's something else going on.
