Please power down and connect the pcie power cable(s) for this graphics card - msi GeForce 1060 armor 6gb OC edition

[TheKrispy]

I have only one 6 pin connector and I checked the graphics card and it has only 1 port and that is the 8-pin one.

I am using Msi GeForce Gtx 1060 armor 6gb Oc edition

My power is antec VP450W

My motherboard is Gigabyte H110M-A and is updated to the latest BIOS

Desperately need help for this... been trying all the options I could find for 3 days.

I was using IGTX (internal graphics: my intel graphics) to try to fix my error code 43 on windows 10 but nothing worked.

I switched from IGTX to Pcie slot 1 in BIOS menu and then got this error. using a 6 pin from my power and plugging it in to the right side of the 8 pin slot on my graphics card. No other slots are seen or said in the specs. So I only have the One slot. Not using any adapters either.

The memory is installed on slot 1 nearest to my Intel i5 6500 quad core proccesor. I am using Kingston hyperX 8gb single rank memory.

Please help.

Plugging a 6 pin pcie power cable into an 8 pin connector will not work. One of the jobs of those two extra pins is to let the card know it's safe to draw the needed power. Now, technically they do sell 6 to 8 pin adapters. It claims to be a 120 watt card and 6 pin is rated to 75 watts, as is the power provided by the slot. But the power draw isn't evenly split, and the card may be designed to draw more power from the pcie cable than the slot, which could exceed 75 watts. To be completely honest it would probably work, but it's a much, much better idea to purchase a new PSU with the needed connections. You'll have to weigh the risks of potentially damaging your GPU, mobo, and PSU against the cost of replacing the PSU. If it were me, I would definitely replace the PSU. They've come a long way in the last few years in both efficiency and reliability:
