New Graphics Card wont boot the Computer

[xAIMx]

Hello,

I bought a new Graphics Cards, a EVGA GTX 980 Ti.
I replaced my old card and wired the 6 pin connector and the 8 pin connector to my power supply and now it won't boot. The little green LED is the only thing that turns on, but that turns on when I connect the main power cord. When I press the power button, nothing happens, no fans or beeps, nothing

I have a Be Quiet 630 W power Supply so I should have enough power?

You can add the card later. For now, just check if the PC is working without the card installed on the mobo. After that, install the card and make sure it is properly based to the case. Then get into windows and install the driver and right after that, update it and check restart and then check if this issue is happening again.

The computer works fine with onboard graphics, so are you saying I should add the card while it's running? That does not seem safe at all. And I can't get any life in the computer when the Card is installed, I don't think it's the drivers, cause then I would be able to boot at least

I think you should exchamge, you cant even get into bios so whats to point of putting gpu in again whilst system is on.

This maybe a completely wrong question. But currently I have the power coming from one of the PCIe Ports on my PSU,
So I have currently a 8 pin in the PCIe port 2 and then have two heads both with 6+2 Pins into the graphics card
Do I need two cables one for the 8 pin on the GPU and one for the 6 pin on the GPU? Or is it fine it's coming from the same one?

Yep one cable...lol i had that issue once, I just used one cable which has 8 and 6 pin on it

Wait I'm using 1 cable, is that what I'm supposed to, or do I need two?

One end into the PSU the other end for the GPU is like the one in the pic... Im guessing u have the 6 pin with 2 pin joined to it and a 6 pin as well. Sorry my mistake in previous message I said 4 pin

Similar to this http://

A gtx 980 just needs one cable

How much max output does your PSU has like what is the wattage rating on it. Also which Brand and model is it of?

It's a Be Quiet and it has a max output of 630 W Here is a picture of the specs

Maybe try getting new cables for the power supply.

maybe a bios update? I know there was an issue with dell motherboards not supporting gtx 970/980's without a bios update

I did not have a cable for my power supply so I just bought a brand new one, and SilverStone PCIe Cable

If the GPU has 2 6/8 pin power connector headers, you will need 2x 6/8 pin power cables for them to be connected from the PSU. However, make sure these cables are compatible with your PSU connectors. There should be some suggestion for cables in the PSU website under the model number of your PSU. Try it first.

Also try to check if the GPU will work with any other computer of your friends or neighbors which has a compatible PSU. That way, you can avoid the need for replacing the GPU if it works.
