[SOLVED] Need some help with installing a video card.

[Geekthulhu]

Okay. So here is the problem. I have purchased an H370 Aorus Gaming Wifi mobo and will not post if I have my GPU installed.

I can boot no problem with onboard graphics, but when I plug my two 6 pins into my GTX 970. It won't even post.

If I switch to intergrated graphics with the GPU still seated, but no 6 pins in. The fans will spin for a second and then stop.

I know that the video card is good and that my PSU is good as well.

I think that the issue might be with BIOS itself, but I can't for the life of me figure out what is going wrong?

Anyone ever deal with this mobo before and run into a similar or exact issue?

Silly question: are you plugging the display cable to the graphics card?

 

[Calvin7]

Recommended System Power is a minimum of 500 Watts to run that video card

 

[Geekthulhu]

Yes It was plugged into the proper display.

I have a 650 Watt PSU.

Have you tried the other PCIe slot?

 

[Geekthulhu]

I have not. I only have one 16X PCIe slot on the board.

Is this not your motherboard? https://www.gigabyte.com/uk/Motherboard/H370-AORUS-GAMING-3-WIFI-rev-10#kf

Has a secondary slot. It may not be a full x16 bandwidth, but that doesn't matter for diagnostic reasons.
