GPU fans not spinning and no signal on screen?

[tobin48]

Hi, I have a custom built PC with these specs:

Cool Master Mid Tower
Gigabyte GA - F2A68HM-H Motherboard
AMD A10 7860k Processor
(NEW) EVGA 700w PSU
(NEW) EVGA 1060 GPU

So, I have everything plugged in and ready but when I turn on the computer the gpu fans spin for half a second then turn off. I noticed that there is a 4 pin (2x2) slot labeled VGA left open on the mother board. My old PSU had a 4 pin that would fit into the VGA slot but the new EVGA 700w does not have one but instead comes with two 4 Pin CPU cables. I tried putting the CPU cable into VGA and the GPU fans would spin for a good 30s but then turn off.

What can I do in this situation? Also do the 2 CPU 4pins need to be plugged in somewhere? My motherboard does not have any 4pin slots besides the VGA. I'm also getting a no signal message on my screen.

That little 4 prong plug in the back is for your CPU. Some of the newer boards have 6 plugs. Look for a plug on the power supply that has 6 and see if you can pull 2 of the plugs away from it.

According to the manual found here https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-F2A68HM-H-rev-10#support-manual

There is a four pin connector for ATX 12V power up around the CPU which must have power supplied to it or the computer will not start. Also the GPU how did you plug power in to it, you sure it's an EVGA 1060, that could need an additional 2 x 4 pin cable.

6 Pin cable. Their no 2X4 for a video card.
