Hey everyone. I recently built my first pc. However, i was unable to install the gpu as i did not have a dvi cable for my monitor. So i stored it in a cardboard box for about 24 hours. Anyway, today i attempted to install it. However, after i turned the computer on, I realized i had only plugged in the 8 pin connector, not the 6 pin. The fans were spinning, but i got no display. The pc was working fine using the integrated graphics, so there must be an issue with my gpu. And i guess there is always the chance of ESD, although i generally discharged myself plenty of times. If none of these events would have broken the gpu, could it just be DoA? Or did i break it

Yea i tried that too. I plugged in the 8pin and 6pin, put it in the pcie slot, and used a dvi cable to plug it into the monitor. Still no display. Could it be doa? What about the PCIe slot? could that be broken?
