[SOLVED] I can't get my old GPU out.

[Cubed Candy]

Anyone know how I could get this one out? So I can put my new one in?

 

[USAFRet]

The switch on the PSU?
The cable to the wall?
What else did you touch?
What indications do you see when you press the power button?

When I press the power button absolutely nothing happens.

 

[Cubed Candy]

But I also touched almost every single cable going into the PSU, but did not take any of them out.

Are cpu power cables hooked up, can’t tell in the picture

 

[Cubed Candy]

Where would they be located, maybe a can get a better picture.

Top left of motherboard above cpu. Between VRM heatsink.

When I press the power button absolutely nothing happens.

That would indicate something is not connected.
Or the PSU switch is OFF.
Or its not plugged in.
Or the wall socket circuit breaker tripped.

I just unplugged and plugged back in all the things in the wall socket having to do with my PC. Still nothing.

Any other things I could have done wrong?

 

[USAFRet]

Some cable on the inside.
Look at and touch everything.

What cables would cause a PC not to power on?

What cables would cause a PC not to power on?

Front panel power switch to the motherboard
PSU to CPU
PSU to motherboard

You never answered the earlier question - Where did that cable come from?

 

[Cubed Candy]

The other 8-pin cable seems to have been a spare from when I bought my PSU.

 

[Cubed Candy]

Would pressing the start or reset button on my motherboard do anything?

OK, just checking that it came with that actual PSU.

Maybe.
Try it.

 

[Cubed Candy]

Which one? Start or reset.

Which one? Start or reset.

Well...'reset' only counts if it is already running, so...

Well... when I pressed start everything turned on, and then turned off and then turned on in an infinity loop. But while it was doing that my GPU made this horrible fast passed clicking sound.

 

[Cubed Candy]

So now it is actually working, but I think that the sound is the wires touching the GPU fan, so I am going to have to figure out how to fix that one. Here is a video showing the sound.

[USAFRet]

Yes, that is a cable touching a spinning fan.
Find and fix that.

Also, the fact that the system turns on from the motherboard power button signifies that something is amiss with the front panel power button.
Fix that.

Also, is there a reason why you don't use the first PCIe slot?

 

[Sohom]

why aren't u using the gpu slot on the top? use the slot below the processor...

When I installed my old GPU into this PC, I remember there being a problem with the top slot or something. I will try it out though.
