i recently acquired 3 x GTX 980 cards. They all work in my other pc but when i install them in the problematic pc it won't turn on when I connect the PCIe cables.
I've searched for solutions and have found none that have solved the problem, anyone have any ideas?
The spec of pc is in the linked

The best place to start, for anyone to have any ideas, would be the full specs of the problematic PC, including exact power supply. Hard to diagnose a problem with a PC that's a complete and utter mystery.
