[SOLVED] CPU fan twitches, but no boot up

[Darknoxx0]

Just purchased a new Gigabyte rtx 2070 super oc 3x gaming. I installed it, but when I power it on, only the cpu fan twitches and nothing starts. There is absolutely no lights that indicate power, but when I unplug it, everything works fine. My CPU is almost 4 years old so I assume this may be the issue, but I'm just making sure.

Here's my specs:

CPU: i5-4790K (stock CPU cooler)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Extreme4
Memory: 8gbs ddr3 ballistix
PSU: CX 750M bronze
Storage: 1tb hdd (WD), 1tb & 250gb ssd (Samsung)

Thanks for any advice people.

When you unplug what?

The GPU. I ran into the same problem. Exact same circumstances just different specs. Mine won’t work with my GTX 1060 3gb. Now when I plug in my GTX 1050 2gb it works.

No, I’m simply having the exact same problem.

Then kindly start your own thread. Even if you think it's the same problem, the fix may not be.

Will do, but kindly state your fix if you have one.

So I can't establish whether it was a faulty cord, or because I was plugging a 6+2 pin cord into the psu. Nonetheless, I fumbled around for a while and eventually got it to turn on.

Before, it was giving me a, "Turn off and plug in power to RTX 2070" on my display. I assume it was the configuration of my 6/8pin connectors. Thanks for the help though guys. You may close this thread.

For anyone else who has this same problem description, my problem was in fact a dead card, and if yours is new mine was too used it for like an hour and it died. A replacement card works fine. Same make and same mode.
