I am doing my first pc build and have everything connected. When I try to boot it up the ez debug leds for the gpu comes on. Everything else seem to work. The gpu fan starts when the I start it up, but stops when the leds turns on. Any advice?

My parts:
Ryzen 5 1600x
Cooler master hyper 212 evo
Msi B350 tomahawk atx am4
G. Skill aegis 8gb
Western digital re3 1TB
EVGA GeForce GTX 1060
EVGA 430W ATX power supply

Sounds like the power supply isn't giving enough wattage to the entire system. Have you tried turning the computer on without the GPU plugged in?
If you haven't, please try that. If it boots up, then yes it's the power supply. If it doesn't, then it's your motherboard probably.

In fact I'm surprised you decided to get a 430W PSU at all combined with a GTX 1060 (yes I know Nvidia's website says 400W's is fine, but that's only if you have it combined with a CPU and motherboard that don't consume a lot of power either, in my personal opinion I wouldn't go any lower then 500W's with a GTX 1060)

Make sure you have a 6-pin connector as well. DO NOT use 4 pin to 6 pin adapter connectors unless you do some research on the PSU about it's...
