Question Graphic's Card Not Working.

I Have an NVIDIA 770 4G. i have not used it for a few weeks. i was going to attempt to give it a spin again after a few weeks. when i used it last it worked perfectly Fine and as it was supposed to. But
When i plug in the PCI-E Cables from my PSU into the card and turn on the PC it turns on for 0.8 seconds then Turns off then does not turn on again unless i switch the power supply Off for 5 seconds and turn it back on from the back. it persist to do this issue. but with the 1st PCI-E Connector on the graphic Card. when i plug it in and not the broken one it works but does not display as it needs all Pins connected. this same issue happened With my AMD radeon RX 580. i have tried numerous PSU's and computers them selves i still get the same issue.

There are two possible reasons: short on PSU cable - but if you tried different cables/PSU then it's not that; or short at the GPU. There is not much to be done in the latter case.

I do Not understand. how it would've shorted. it was in its Box i got it in with its plastic foiling. how is this possible?.

I managed to get my AMD one working again some how not sure how i did it but its only for work stations now as when i use gaming it cuts off instantly

Very easily. Electronic components can die at any moment even when not in use as long as they have been used before. I had exactly such thing happen to me with PSU. I left perfectly working PSU in no longer used PC that was packed into box. Few months later it would not even start.

might have just died cause its old. Gpus are coming down quick give it a month and things will be around msrp I think
