Pls Help!! your opinion matter a lot.
Recently assembled a system with the config below.

1.CPU 17 6700 (LGA 1151) 3.4GHZ
2. Asus Maximus VIII HERO (M/B)
3. GIGABYTE 970 Windforce
4. 2 TB Seagate SSHD
5. Corsair HYDRO 110i GT CPU Cooler
6. LG DVD RW
7. Corsair DDR4 Vengeance 16 GB X1
8. D-Link Wlan NIC
9. Corsair 750 W 80+

I tried removing the graphics card and connected monitor to M/B directly it works well.
The PC boots fine as long as the Graphics card is not connected.
Once the same is connected to PCI 3.0 16X slot (and not powered), the display goes out (which is fine, coz we have to remove the cable from M/B & connect to the graphics card) and once the graphics card is powered with the 6 port and 8 port connectors, PSU trips.

Should i change the PSU? or is there a work around? pls advise..

Thanks in Advance and Best Regards
Vivek RJ

Solution found to my issue:
1. 16 GB DDR4 ram was connected in slot 1 , which took only 8 gb module as a single unit. gave to slot 2, works fine
2. the 8 pin cable for the M/B was interchanged with the 8 pin cable for the G/C
3. Never went past the bios coz, cpu fan speed error. solution: gave one of the fan from the radiator to the CPU fan socket.

Issue has been resolved :) runs great now.

thanks for the support guys.
