GObonzo, that's exactly what I did. Thank you VERY much for all of your help!

Installed all updated drivers and now it works

Just wanted to update... This is a positive sign. With the gpu removed, I put in the disc that came with it, tried to install/update drivers and got a message saying no gpu detected and can't proceed. Put the gpu back in and it's letting me move forward so it must be detecting it at least.

GObonzo, I meant about this difference. When the 6+2 in plugged in, a single fan sputters 3 times, then the other, then the other, then the other, and so on. When 2 6pins are plugged into the gpu's splitter, both fans spin for 15 seconds, then stop and never spin again unless I reboot.

I'm going to read up on how to install the drivers now. And thanks for the link.... I see the model I purchased is listed as a tier 4.... ouch. I'll be returning it for 1 of the tier 1 or tier 2 models.

Let me apologize in advance to everyone. I didn't mean for this post to the "answer/sollution" type, meant for it to be a discussion..... After I install windows and connect to the internet, do I need to install drivers and updates? And I think I'll be returning that power supply. The guy at...

My wife and I bought all of the parts for my son's PC. We're just waiting for the RAM and the case, and then I will be building it for him. Here's the setup..... http://pcpartpicker.com/p/d6gVxr the only part that's not on the list is a Western Digital 1TB HDD that we bought from...
