Question PC is not working ?

[Arda1]

Hi guys I built a PC one week ago.
My RX 6650 XT only starts if I switch the 6+2 pin connector on the PCIe cable; otherwise, the PC stays off and the GPU briefly flashes red. The 6+2 Cable has 2 of the connector .
Everything else in the PC is working when i turn it on, it's only the GPU that's not turning on.

PC Specs
Motherboard: Asus B650 Plus
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7500F
GPU: RX 6650 XT
PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 11 600W

What do you mean by "Switch the 6+2 pin connector"?

You need to have that connector plugged in for the PC to work.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The 6+2 Cable has 2 of the connector .
Might want to pass on images of what you're seeing if you're unsure of how they're connected.

Bequiet pure power 11
Be Quiet! is the brand of the unit, while Pure Pore 11 is the series of the unit. What is the wattage and it's age?

I don't understand this sentence. What are you switching? Are you talking about the two 8-pin connectors on the same PCIe cable? And what do you mean by "switching"?

So every time you want to turn on your computer you first have to unplug the 8-pin and connect the other one instead otherwise the GPU doesn't get powered? What happens if you unplug it and plug back the same connector?
