So, I got this brand new gtx 1070 strix today, but the computer would not start up when I plugged in the pcie power cables into the graphics card and the gpu just emits a short beep and the power led turning red for a split second with no components lighting up whatsoever.

However, when I do not plug in the pcie power cables, the computer will start up and display a black screen which says to plug in the pcie power cable into the graphics card. (The graphics card rgb leds are working now)


So my problem is why when I plug in the power cables the computer would not start up but when the cables are unplugged, the computer starts up? Is it a problem with the power supply?

Psu: Andyson nuclear 950
Motherboard: Asus h81 gamer
GPU: Asus gtx 1070 strix

If you have a 950W PSU that is more than enough to run your build, if my build is fine, yours should be too but if you want to spend money on getting another PSU and presume that the PSU is to blame instead of trying to get a new card first then that would be the less cost effective way of approaching this.

Hello!

Can you try your card in another machine?

Try removing the whole card from the system and try to boot then and enter BIOS if you can.

What is the exact CPU that you have? If it is intel then you can test the integrated graphics on the CPU but if it is AMD you will need a GPU.

Right ok so no GPU = boot, GPU in = no boot,

Are you sure you are plugging it into the correct PCI/E slot? if you are then I would suggest RMA'ing the GPU and getting a replacement as it might be dead.

I woudnt say the gpu is dead though...

The gpu will light up if NO power cables is plugged in, and the screen will tell you to plug the power cables in.

The screen will not show anything, and the gpu will not light up if the power cable is plugged into the gpu.

So that makes me think that my psu is faulty instead at least when powering the gpu.
