You don't have a pc or electronics store locally that you can grab a new cheap 500 watt p/s to test?

I just feel you'll be wasting your time exchanging the card if it's the power.

Ok sounds good.. let us know how it turns out.

As they say always buy more watts thrn you need. No psu gives you 100% what it's rated and you don't want to max it out as it will work too hard to keep up.

I dont think a 500w is posaible for me my computer isnt a regular comp its a compact small desktop that as far as i know needs one 180w and one 230w or two 180w but the 1080 CAN be put into it and can be run with 180w and 230w there are tons of forum posts on it

The ASUS ROG G20AJ can support a gtx 780 video card. I'm thinking the card is defective since you said your screen turned pink. Why not test the card in your friends computer?

Good reason. Take the card to your local computer repair shop?
