I've been working on my new build and spent hours today troubleshooting.
Components:
GPU: Asus GTX 770
Motherboard: Asus Z87-A
PSU: XFX 650W XXX Edition 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular
I'll just say these components as this is where the issue lies. Basically I built everything plugged all. However, the GPU has a PCIe 8 pin and 6 pin slot. I originally only attached the 8 pin and the PC wouldn't boot up. After removing the GPU it did start up fine and i ended up installing windows 8.1 while doing that.
Now I started troubleshooting the GPU and from a tutorial realised I needed that extra 6 pin in as well. Didn't solve it.
Things I've tried to solve the issue:
- Place the GPU in another Pci 16 slot.
- Connect one of the semi modular PCIe connectors to the GPU instead of using the stock ones coming out
- Use one of each of those power cables, (one 8 pin and the other 6pin)
- Tried clearing CMOS.. (3 pins are on Mobo covered by a 2 pin cover) moving that cap along onto the end 2 pins for 20 seconds and switching back
I can only imagine this issue was most likely caused from me originally just connecting the 8 pin connector. How to solve it I dont know. Did I do any damage? I'm not sure. I've seen a few threads with GTX 770 owners not able to boot up. A definitive cause and solution wasn't posted that I could see.
Any suggestions? I will spend all tomorrow following them.
