Got a new Msi Gtx 1070 gaming x GPU and Installed it into my rig and I'm getting a constant short beep with a interval of 15 seconds, I've tried everything I could find online ( pull RAM, change leads, delete old drivers) but it keeps coming up this same, it just starts up the BIos screen but doesn't continue from there, then it loses signal. Is it fine that I've used a 6 pin with a 2 pin power lead on the GPU 8 pin?
 
Solution
It is fine that you used a 6+2 for an 8 pin.
But it sounds like something else is the matter.

What is the rest of your system specs?
Please include power supply make/model number.
