Is there a PCIe power cable connected from the PSU?

Is your monitor connected to the GPU (and not the motherboard)?

 

[eske groth]

what is a PCle power cable?

and i have a HDMI in my gpu

 

[eske groth]

is the PCle power cable a 8 pin cable?

 

[1LiquidPC]

It's the power cable that attaches to the GTX 1060 to provide additional power required for normal operation.

 

[eske groth]

yes its in

 

[1LiquidPC]

How long has this been going on? Is this new build? Rechecked all connections? Reseated GPU itself?

 

[eske groth]

I finished it last Friday but just had to install some games so I could try it on Saturday. so it's a whole new build.

i can use my computer and i can see youtube on it and that kind of thing.


And what do you mean by Reseated GPU itself

 

[1LiquidPC]

I'm referring to the 1060. Removing it carefully and reinstalling.

 

[eske groth]

I've tried it

 

[1LiquidPC]

Is your motherboard running the latest UEFI? Are latest drivers, including Geforce Drivers, installed?

 

[eske groth]

What is the name of the page where I can install the latest driver for my graffle card

 

[1LiquidPC]

Should be https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Have you installed other drivers from motherboard manufacturer site? Windows updated?

 

[eske groth]

I tried my computer yesterday and could play gta v but my motherboard is still lit white and my fans still do not turn around. my gpu is leaking at about 40 degrees

 

[eske groth]

I want to install the driver when I get home
