I just finished building my pc.
Unfortunatly, every single time I lauch my pc (http://tweakers.net/gallery/657262#tab:wenslijst) I get the error message: "please power down and connect the PCIe power cable(s) for this graphics card" And I get no response on my monitor at all when I use the connector from my motherboard

I've tried putting my GPU in different PCIe slots,
changing cables which power the GPU,
changing power inputs on the GPU.

I honestly have no other ideas which could do anything,
maybe my GPU is broken, but I really hope it isn't

Thanks for taking your precious time to read this and if you have ANY ideas,
be sure to place a response.

EDIT:
I can't even get into the BIOS

Solution
What type of connectors are you using for you GPU. It needs a 6pin and 8pin. Are you using the correct ones from your PSU or are you using adapters?

I am only using one of the connectors,
should I use two at the same time?

Edit:
I tried using either the 6 pin and the 8 pin connector,
never both at the same time.

Edit 2:
I used both at the same time,
I no longer get the error message!
