Just liek the title said, my PC turns on for a split second and then closes IF the 6 pin power connector is connected. If I plug in only the 2 pin it turns on but gpu isnt powered. What's the problem? GPU or PSU? BTW my gpu is red devil rx470 and psu is CoolerMaster MWE 12V 400.

Why aren't you plugging in both? This PSU requires an 8-pin connector, so you need to have the whole 6+2 installed.

Second if you are, did this ever work before? It's a fairly low-quality power supply.
