No startup after card install (second opinion needed)

Hello all. I recently tried to install a second gtx 960 ssc on my z97 mobo. But of course I ran into a problem. The PC will not start up at all with them both connected to power. If I use just one (in either slot) the PC boots fine. Now here is the kicker... The brand new 6+2 connector I just received seems to be the issue as the PC will not boot if I am using that cable on either card (even if I am just using a single card). I troubleshoot for a living so I know that all signs point to this cable. But I was thinking maybe someone knew something that I didn't. Any and all responses are welcome

850w :/

I would hate for it to be something so stupid as a cable. Especially a brand new one...
