"Please power down and connect the pcie power cables..." GTX 970

[saltyJuliian]

Hey guys,
i am running a gtx970 with a ASUS B85M-E Motherboard and a CORSAIR VS 450.
The Pc was running about a month without problems, but when i turned it on today, after i logged in into windows the monitor went white for a second and then went black. The pc was not responding and i shut him down. After i turned him on again i got this message.

Can anyone help me?
Tanks in advance.

Is this a new build? It sounds like a power supply issue to me. Do you have both the 6pin and 8pin power leads plugged into the graphics card?

1) it was built a month ago
2) on the Graphic Card are 2 & 6 Pins, both connected

If your PSU is modular, ensure the connections are inplace on the PSU side. You could try different PCIe power cables if your psu provides extra. You could try swapping the power cables on the graphics card around.

Post your complete and detailed build so we know what you are talking about.

Hello,
apparently this is a common thing these days with these 970 vga's. I got my pc built 1 month after yours and i got the same problem.
It might be something electrical affecting the vga, like remaining electricity in the board. (not sure tho)
But what i do works. I turn off my PC and energy and i press the power button some times to 'push' that electricity away. Sometimes only this works, when it doesnt work, I (after doing already the 'push' thing) let my pc on for 5 minutes on the screen with the message "Please power down and connect the pcie power cables...". Then i press RESET and it works all the time.
Hope this helps.

Exact same problem, how I fixed it: switch off the psu or unplug the computer from the mains power. With the power disconnected turn the computer on, it should fire up for a second before dying. Now reconnect the power and it should be fine. No idea why, but it did the trick for me.

Hi
I have one new GTX 680.She stood for a year, and yesterday I tried to fix it, because I do computer repair shops. After 4 hours I left her standing. Later I was involved and to my surprise she turned on and entered the WIN and everything is done to 2 hours. Again the same problem appeared. I think it comes to a cold solder ....
