PC not powering up when Graphics Card plugged in.

[ferhan96]

I've had my custom built pc for about a year now, but a few weeks ago it wouldn't turn on. I opened it up and started tinkering with it, and found it would power on only when I disconnected the graphics card from the power supply. A friend of mine had a look at it and suggested replacing the power supply, which I have done, but the problem still remains.
The pc runs fine when the graphics card is not plugged in, as it runs on the integrated graphics, although I can hear the gpu fans trying to start up.

seems to me you trouble shot the problem, have you tried to use a different video card (not integrated) just to make sure it is the video card that is failed and not your motherboard slot.

Yup, that seems most likely at this point. Test with a different video card.

Yeah I'm gonna give that a go in a few days. I've tried putting the gpu in a different slot but that hasnt worked either.
