Hey guys. I am building a PC for a relative and this is the 3rd PC I've built. I just finished the build and plugged in my monitor and keyboard/mouse, but was disappointed to see that GPU fans were not working and my screen was black. I believe it is a problem with the GPU because everything else seems to work and I can hear the disk drive start up and all of the other fans are starting. Not sure what to do. I tried taking it out and re-installing it, but that didnt work. Any suggestions? I also think it may be the PSU not being big enough.

Here is the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DWvHqs

(And this is not for gaming, it is just meant to be a quick PC for my relative's work)

if your processor has on-board graphics use that first. See if it boots up. You know to take out the graphics card first right? Good luck let us know, thank you.
