Hello Guys,

Today i upgraded my GTX 660 to an GTX 960 Strix 4gb. Afher trying everything possible to try to turn on the pc that doesn't happen, not even go to the main logo, it's like DEAD. I bought a new PSU to test it out and still doesn't work, the red light in my graphic card that was happening with the old PSU was gone, and turned into a white light but still computer doesn't turn on. Can someone please help me out, im already running out of options.


CPU: I7 2600K
RAM: 8GB 1333MHZ
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte h61m-s1 (REV 2.1)
SSD 120GB KINGSTON
1TB DISK
PSU COOLERMASTER 600W
OLD GRAPHIC CARD: GIGABYTE GTX 660 2GB
NEW GRAPHIC CARD: ASUS GTX 960 STRIX 4GB

That is strange honestly. Especially since the old card boots up and works just fine. Looong ago I read of some 900 cards not liking PCIE 2.0 slots. I cannot remember which one or what brand. I can't even find the article anymore so it must have been minor and only effected certain motherboard and brands. The point is the fix was a bios update. That is the last suggestion I have. Make sure your bios is fully updated and if that doesn't work try a different 16x slot.

It works with the old card, that's the problem. I cant understand why it doesn't work with the gtx 960, cant even make the pc turn on, it's like nothing happens. Im trying some bios update and enabled some stuff in bios whatever, but i would like to get some tips from you guys.. cuz i think it still not going to work anyway.

Can't send it back, it's a used card.. He guy who sold me said that it was working perfectly when he removed, he has been trying to help me it for hours to fix it and still no way to do it.

So no post and the board doesn't light up, no fan spins? if thats the case than you have a problem. If not and it does start but you cannot see the screen it could be as simple as making sure the power cable is plugged in.

Need more info to help besides saying it doesn't start.

Problem SOLVED. Seems like a PSU Cable was connected in a spin PIN and it wasn't making the gtx 960 working, the problem is, i dont understand why, because even with the wrong cable the 660 was working fine, but anyway, problem fixed.
