Looking for help here I have installed a new EVGA GTX 760 to replace a substandard AMD 6450.
After install Windows will only load to splash screen then just hangs. I have uninstalled old drivers both manually and with Display Driver Uninstaller utility. I can only run in safe mode.
my rig:
POWERSPEC B820 from Micro Center, cpu I5 2500k @ 3.30 ghz, Win 7 64 Pro, 8 gigs ram, 500 watt power supply.
Install went off with out a hitch but had to move the hard drive to top bay to accommodate the new card. Although I am a little confused about the connections to power supply, card has two female ports a 6 pin and a 8 pin. It came with two adapters (1) a 6 pin to two 4 pin. (2) a 8 pin to two 6 pin. Dumb question here... Do I need all of those connections or just one of the adapters, either the 6 or 8 pin.??? and do all power supply ends get connected? :angry3:
Biggest question here is WTF! why wont my pc accept new card?? Seems I have tried every thing here. looking to see if any one out there can help. I contacted EVGA they said was a driver conflict. Well I have made sure drivers do not exist. three times. Is there a BIOS setting I am missing? But shouldn't need to change that..
Any help would be appreciated. I cannot connect to TS as I have no audio in safe mode.

You need to install both 6 and 8 pin. This balances power demands. It will run with 8 pin I think but you'll risk burning the card up so why not plug it in. Use the 8 pin or 6 pin adapter if needed.
What was your issue?
