    Compatibility question


    Im trying to hook my graphics card to my motherboard.

    Whenever I try to turn it on, It doesnt work.
    -The fans for my CPU, GPU, PSU are working.. but it will only work til 5 seconds. or less.
    -Ive tried to remove my GPU from the board. Then it worked

    Now im kinda wondering whats wrong with it

    Could it be that my board is not compatible with my GPU?
    do i lack power? coz it needs 2 6pins...... I only hooked 1 6pin
    Could it be that my GPU has damage already?

    Motherboard: G41M-P33 COMBO MSI
    GPU: GV-N460OC-1GI

    You video card has two 6 pin power connection for a reason. It needs them.
    Up date your power supply.

Hello! I use MS Office 2003. Hypothetically, if I install office compatibility pack and after installation save some *.doc with my word 2003, will that file be saved as a 2007 doc, thus it can't be open with some other word 2003 (without compatability pack installed)?
