Hi everyone,

I was able to succesfully boot and install Windows on a new machine I've been building that has a MSI b150i motherboard.

However, when I go to install a new MSI aero gtx 1080 video card, the power supply clicks when I press the power button and the computer never boots.

I tried clearing CMOS, made sure my bios is up to date, tried a different video card (an older Radeon one that booted but didn't need the 8 pin power)

It seems like it potentially could be a bad graphics card?

Wanted to at least see if there are any other things I could try before trying a different 1080 card if this one is truly DOA.

Thanks in advance for your help!
