So first, I bought a GTX 1060 and tried to install it but found that my power supply didn't have a PCI-E cable. I tried to make it work using the 6-pin to molex adapter that came with the card, and the card appeared to get a surge of power upon startup (the fan turned on), but nothing more (the fan quickly turned off and stayed off). So I went ahead and bought a new PSU with a PCI-E cable, assuming I was just messing up some wiring and that it would all be easier with a PCI-E coming straight from the power supply. Got that all hooked up, everything works fine, so the PSU is good (and new). But upon trying the new GPU, I find that the same thing happens! The fan spins for a no longer than a second, and no output is made. Most of the other forum threads talk about how they have problems with BIOS not recognizing the card and how they should update BIOS, but none of them seem to have this problem. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
My MOBO is the AMD 760G chipset, my processor is an AMD FX-4300, and my new PSU is an EVGA 700B.
Update: the fan on the card is very weakly spinning, and still no output.
