I bought a graphics card 3 or 4 months back because the card that came with my Gateway stopped working. After putting it in I could tell my computer was running much slower than before. Eventually it started to shut itself down and restart sometimes. Recently it would turn on for 2 or 3 minutes and now it wont start with the card in it. I thought it was the power supply because it said it required a 400watt power supply, but then i looked at the old card that i started with and it also required 400 watts. I am new to all of this and i would love to learn how it works. If any of you guys know how the power supply distributes the power to all of the cards and ports i'd be happy to know.
The computer i use is a Gateway FX7026
The new graphics card i tried to put in was an EVGA GTX 550Ti 2gb GDDR5
The old one is what came with the computer, an EVGA e-GeForce 8800GT 512mb DDR3
My power supply is Delta Electronics DPS- 400RB A Power supply, also original to the PC
