Not sure what is going on exactly but my PC (custom Build) will no power on if my graphics card is plugged in via the 2x6 pin PCIe cables.
Here's the breakdown. I had a Saphire r9 280x which ran fine, no issues. I went to a EVGA GTX 670 which I have water cooled o nan open loop along with my CPU. I hooked everything up last night after cutting my tube lengths and what not. It powered on fine I installed the Gforce experience and updated the drivers for the GTX 670. I also installed Precision X from the EVGA site an minimally tweaked the GPU performance. After I restarted it it powered on like normal but once windows booted up it powered down like I unplugged it.
It would not power on unless I unplugged the PCIE cables from the graphics card. I run a I7 3930k on an AsRock Extreme 9 LGA 2011 board so I kinda need a GPU.
If I unplug the graphics card and power it on, I can then plug the card back in and then reset the motherboard via it's reset button and it will run fine. If I restart the machine or let it sleep it will not power back on or wake up and I have to repeat the unplugging process.
I'm thinking it is my PSU which is a Seasonic 850x Gold but not quite convened yet. The cables are fine and I can jumper the PSU and it will power on fine as well which is how I filled up my loop. Any thoughts or comments would be helpful
