Hello everyone.
Recently I bought new hardware pieces and i did everything the pc works and everything is working, but the GTX 1060 3G isn't working and it's fan isn't working either, and nothing comes on the monitor.

Could the problem be from the pin connectors between Graphic card and power supply? the graphic card has only 6 pin plug and power supply has 6+2 and Graphics card isn't working at all!
 
Solution
From Motherboard (assumed Integrated graphic is working)

    ■ Go to BIOS make sure 1060 is detected, it'll help if you assort motherboard's model/brand and BIOS version. You can also try clear CMOS, unplug power > remove the battery > short CMOS jumper to clear > reinstate batt > power the PC > go to BIOS > check PCIe graphic card tab, you can upload the pic of OSD for us. Or ..
    ■ Reinstate 1060 > ....power up PC ...

From PSU

  • ■ If your PSU has two 6+2 PEG cable, use the other one
    ■ If both PEG cable fail, try get molex to 6 pin adapter (two molex 4 pin with yellow and black cable)
From Graphic card, if you friend with working PCIEx16 slot motherboard, asked for test your 1060, if they have PCIE graphic card ask to test on...
First I don't know how to quote messages here , I'm new .. anyway this is my pc :-

i5-6600K
microATX motherboard H110-A DDR4
CPU cooler hyper 212 EVO
Kingston hyperX fury 2x8 GB
Gigabyte GTX 1060 3GB
Power supply EVGA 600W bronzer
HDD 1T

The monitor is connected with the GPU yes,
... I'm confused i mean these pieces are very much new! and pcpartpicker says it's compatible!
