Power On for a Split Second then turns off

Specs:
PSU: Delta Electronics 800w Server
GPU: ASUS STRIX GTX 1060 6GB
CPU: Intel Core i5 4460
Mobo: MSI H81M-P33 LGA 1150
RAM: Corsair Vengence 8(2x4)GB

Something interesting happening with my PC...
So a few days ago I upgraded from my AMD Radeon HD5450 2GB (obvious reasons) and put in the 1060. Keep in mind my motherboard or CPU cannot be dead, nor can the PSU. They work fine when I put in a lower power card like the HD5450.

The 1060 I have uses an 8 pin connector, and I am using the 8 pin from the PSU, so no issues there.

Even when I use 2 PSUs (1 for the mobo, 1 for the gpu, it does the same thing!

When I connect the P16 6 pin PCI-E from the psu, it actually powers on, but displays "POWER OFF SYSTEM AND CONNECT PCIE CONNECTOR(S)"

Help! This is my first system, however I have quite a lot of knowledge around PCs so don't worry about having to explain absolutely everything to me.

Try pulling the card to reseat. You could also try compressed air to blow out the slot. Check the bios and make sure its the latest. Give your motherboard is know for overclocking the pentium is it? If your overclocking try it at stock settings.

Bios is the latest.
Tried pulling the card and reseating it - no luck.
I don't believe I am overclocking but the gpu is a pre overclocked card.

Uninstall all gpu drivers, put the new gpu and install nvidia drivers.

Try with another pci-e connector.

There aren't any other PCIE connectors I can use, however I uninstalled the drivers and still no luck.

Should I reset my power settings? In Windows my power settings are on Bitsum Highest Performance for CPU

I can only guess your PSU has a bad PCIE plug. Could you get the video card tested in another know working system?

I will take the card back to Scan at the weekend to get them to test my hardware in a test bench to see what's causing the problem.

So the problem was I was using an 8 pin CPU header rather than a PCI-E one, and the server psu didn't have a PCIE 8 pin. I now have an EVGA 450w B 80Plus Bronze PSU, everything works fine!

In conclusion:
Anyone else having the same problem, check you don't have your 8 pin CPU header in your PCIE port on your GPU, if it is, check if you even have a PCIE. It is normally indicated by the number of pins in one single connector (e.g. 1x8pin is normally cpu, PCIE is usually 8{1x6+2})
