Specs: Intel i7 6700 cpu, 32gb ram, old 1060 and new 3060ti ventus 2x, max 700 watt psu, two 1 terabyte hard drives
The computer i have was originally prebuilt but i’ve upgraded it slowly to have 2 terabytes of storage and 32gb of ddr4 ram. The original gpu was a nvidia 1060 but i decided to upgrade to the 3060ti. when it first arrived i noticed it didn’t have a dvi port so i just plugged the dvi cable into the motherboard but that only used the integrated graphics. I then went out to buy a display port cable since i didn’t have any around the house. When i returned i plugged the display port cord in and it said no signal on the monitor so i tried the dvi cable again and it also said no signal. The gpu has two 8 pin pcie cords but i originally had a 8 pin and a 6 pin so 2 spots were open during all of this. i asked a friend for their suggestions and they told me to check the psu. The max wattage is 700w but while i was looking i saw an extra 8 pin pcie cord hidden so i brought it to the front to plug both 8 pin cords into the slots. Both of the 8 pins have a 6pin attached along with it so i had two 6 pin cords hanging while the two 8 pins were plugged in. I tried again but i still had no signal for both display port and dvi. I took the 3060 out multiple times and put it back in but still no signal. My friend suggested i put the 1060 back in but when i did i had no signal for it as well. Anyone perhaps know what the problem could be?
