Motherboard will not boot or beep with the GTX 960 plugged into PSU. Everything works like a charm without GPU - if using internal GPU. Trying to upgrade kids PC for birthday. all help gratefully appreciated.
I have read endless posts here abut GPU and PSU but nothing works. Logic indicates its the GPU is bad, but... no real experience here. i need suggestions before i return the GPU.
If GTX 960 GPU is plugged into PSU, and I hit the lit MB power button it wont Beep or Post, but the PSU clicks once.
Problem still occurs when:
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-GAMING 7
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 750W Power Supply Unit - ATX, 80+ GOLD, Black - PS-TPD-0750MPCGUS-1
HD: 2x Seagate Desktop Solid State Hybrid Drives - 1 TB, 8 GB NAND Flash - ST1000DX001
SSD: one solid state samsung 64gb
DVD: drive is there
RAM: Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 XMS 8GB DDR3 RAM -PC10666, 1333MHz, 2x 4GB
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 Processor - BX80646I74790
Thanks

Problem still occurs when:
if GPU is not seated in PCIex16 slot, but plugged into PSU,
if GPU and Motherboard are plugged into PSU and all drives are disconnected from PSU
Using Red PCIe PSU cable with 8 pin on one end dual 6+2 pin on the other, tried both cables
Tried combining two of the black 6 pin and 4 pin PSU connectors with the 2->1 adapter that came with GPU, same problem.
if GPU is firmly placed in PCIEx16 slot but NOT plugged into PSU, everything boots. but the system does not see the new GPU
When PSU is on and the GPU is connected to it, the motherboard integrated power button is lit. when I press it, the PSU clicks and nothing happens, but light stays lit. if i press it again nothing happens, no click either. I have to toggle the PSU off and on again to get the little click again. I DONT UNDERSTAND IT, but it seems the PSU is tripping off but the Power button on MB stays lit.
I don't have another PSU or MB or GPU handy for swapping
Newest BIOS installed.
