[SOLVED] Everything works except this.

[Mrirvin]

I have come into a roadblock. So I plug eveything into my motherboard. I plug my graphics card in, the pcie x16 slot without the pcie plug from psu and the fan is spinning and everything and boots up pc. when I turn it off and try to plug in psu cable, it does not even boot anymore. The graphics card is a gtx 1060 3gb and the psu is one I got from amazon called Aresgame, and Ive heard and seen many good things about it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sounds like the card has a faulty psu connector

The graphics card itself?

A link to this PSU, please.

Have you tested each of the PSU's 6+2 pin power connectors, in case one of them has an issue?

And by "doesn't boot up" do you mean there's no fans running in the system or anything? I take it your monitor is plugged into the graphics card?

You've "heard and seen many good things about it " ? (the PSU)

Where? Amazon user reviews do not count.

See these, regarding another from that "brand":

Yep, thank you all for your help. Unfortunately it is that power supply. I really hate to say that, but oh well. I’m glad I know what it is now, I tried it with another power supply and didn’t have that issue.

Glad you figured it out.

You gotta give kudos to USAFRet for coming through again!!

Brands that in general should never be trusted at all except when a positive reliable review for a SPECIFIC MODEL from that brand exists.

One or two of these brands listed below MIGHT have a single model or two that are cut from a completely different mold than what that brand is known for (Or manufacture anything from mediocre to decent quality units under other brand names but not their own. One example would be HEC that makes some decent models under the Cougar label and a few rather borderline ones in the past for EVGA, but their own HEC/Compucase Orion units have historically been terrible.), but overall, if they are listed below they are primarily known for selling just plain junk and in many cases, very dangerous junk that lacks adequate protections or cannot even manage to sustain a fraction of whatever rated capacity their products might indicate on the specifications as far as units sold under their OWN name. I have yet to see any that were of recommendable quality or in many cases even safe for use.

A-Top, AK Power, Akyga, Alpine, Apevia, Apex (Supercase/Allied), Aresgame, Artic, Ace, Aerocool (There might be one model worth using, but I'd still avoid them.), Aspire (Turbocase), Atadc, Atrix, Broadway com corp, Chieftech, Circle, CIT, Coolmax, Deer, Diablotek, Digital Alliance, Dynapower, Dynex, Eagletech, Enlight, Eurotech, Evo labs, EZ cool, Feedtek, Foxconn, G7, HEC (Compucase Orion), HEDY, High power, iBall, iStar computer co., Jeantec, JPac, Jual, Just PC, Kentek, Kolink, LC Power, Linkworld electronics, Logisys, Macron, MSI, Njoy, NmediaPC, Norwood Micro (CompUSA), Okia, Powercool, Powerlogic, Powmax, Pulsepower, Q-tec, Quantex, Raidmax, Rave, Rocketfish, Segotep, SFC, Sharkoon, Shuttle, Skyhawk, Spire, Startech, Storm, Sumvision, Tesla, Trust, Ultra, Wintech, Winpower, Xilence (Until I see a reputable review of a model showing different), xTreme (Cyberpower), Youngbear and Zebronics.
