[SOLVED] PC won’t boot when GPU is plugged into PCIe slot

[Bobby92119]

Hello,
I have an ASUS z87 plus board, 760 GPU and 600 watt power supply, windows 7. The PC has been running fine for years, but recently it stopped turning on. The CPU fan would give one rotation before the PC shut off or sometimes nothing would happen. I unplugged the GPU and the PC turns on, I tried different slots and pulled the motherboard battery, no success. The computer will turn on with the GPU plugged into the cables, but not into the PCI slot. I’m not sure if the fans on my GPU should spin right away or only if it’s hot, but the fans aren’t spinning. On the board there is an LED light on for “boot-device” I’m thinking that’s because the card isn’t plugged into a slot. If it’s a BIOS issue I won’t be able to check since the monitor needs my GPU to display an image. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

if pc doesnt even turn on with gpu plugged in, then your GPU is shorted, PSU overcurrent protection is kickin in
you coul try another PSU or try GPU on another PC, but most likely GPU is dead

I was afraid of that, it does look like something was spilt on it.
