I got a gtx 970 and it requires a pcie 6 and 8 pin and my power supply has the connection for it but all in one set of cables could I just plug both connectors in with the one array of cables? It has the plug in then it has more plugins later along the cable. Or do I have to use a totally different set of the cables to get both the 6 pin and 8 pin connected

should be able too.

It won't even load up anything even if I plug a hdmi into the motherboard

Patton2121 · Mar 24, 2016

if you pull your GPU out will it load then?

Shintow · Mar 24, 2016

I removed the Gpu put different one in didn't show on the screen tried 2 different monitors 2 hdmi cables DVD cables and I took apart the entire thing and put it back together still won't work everything is new except for my ram and hard drive

what i mean is take your GPU completely out, then plug the HDMI into the mother board and boot without a GPU. When you have the GPU in it disables on board graphics, rendering the display ports on your mother board useless. By removing the GPU it will force your computer to use on board graphics. This will allow you to see if it even posts in the first place.

No it still won't work without the Gpu even

does your PC make any kind of beeping? if it doesnt its not a huge deal, proably just dont have the beeper thing, but if it is how many times does it beep?

Shintow · Mar 25, 2016

Sorry I don't have a beeper thing on the computer

Shintow :

it could also be your power supply, even if the fans turn on doesnt mean you power supply is working properly and not letting your PC properly boot. If you have a spare power supply try using that. Or if you have a multimeter you can use that.

Patton2121 · Mar 25, 2016

Shintow :

neither do i

Shintow · Mar 25, 2016

I don't really have a spare one to use.

Shintow · Mar 25, 2016

Patton2121 · Mar 25, 2016

Patton2121 · Mar 25, 2016

Patton2121 · Mar 25, 2016

Shintow · Mar 25, 2016

Patton2121 :

Yea I have it all plugged in it used a 8 pin connector for the cpu and all fans get power from the motherboard so it should be all plugged in right

Patton2121 · Mar 25, 2016
