First PC build, just turned it on and this is the message I get. There is one PCIe 6 pin slot on the graphics card, which is indeed connected. Any ideas?

Video card: Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB

Mobo: MSI B150M Mortar

PSU: Seasonic M12ii 620W Bronze

Thanks.
 
Are you able to try another power supply?

Chances are there is a fault with the current one. If it's new RMA it. (Warranty)

If the issue occurs with another supply there is an Issue with the GPU and you'll have to RMA that instead.

I would be leaning more towards the PSU being the issue though.

Yeah, tried both. Guess there might actually be an issue with the PSU or video card, but I'll wait a bit and see if anyone has any more ideas.
