    I just installed my new GPU and now everything is all zoomed out, it won't detect my monitors resolution, it can't find what GPU is installed, etc. How can I fix all of this? Yes I installed the drivers and everything too. It's an MSI GTX 550Ti
    Coming soon...

    I rebooted my computer to see if that's the problem and now my computer won't even come on.

    Make sure it is seated properly, and all your components are in place.

    check if the power supply is on... then if it doesn't turn on then it may be that the motherboard power cables aren't plugged in all the way (main and cpu), if you already checked that then check of it the power button cable is in correctly and if it still doesn't turn on then short the power pins on the motherboard.

    1. Could be using the wrong drivers, use Nvidia's drivers, not MSI's
    2. It could be drawing too much power, if your PSU is < 500W you NEED to get a new one.
    3. Check your bios settings, it could be using the integrated graphics, or just seeing the card wrong.
    Please don't add/pm me asking for RSPS help!

    He should be fine with anything higher than 450W and that GPU, depending on his CPU.

    Are you sure you've got the right resolution settings? Check your drivers as well.
