Question Plugging my 6pin into gpu causes psu to shut off

[NewUsernameNick]

So I was playing skyrim when all of a sudden my pc shut off, after hours of troubleshooting I found out if I run my pc with a gt 705 it runs fine when I put my gtx 960 in without plugging it ìn with the 6 pin it runs and tells me to plug into psu, as soon as I plug into the psu it simply doesnt start untill I put the 705 back in

Relevant specs are
Asus h81m-plus mobo
8gbs ram
Gtx 960 2gb
Naxn?? 500w psu

Replace psu. Seasonic Focus Gold 450w.

Your psu has had it and trying to save your components. Let it go.

We need a little history here because your post jumps around a bit.

When your PC was running Skyrim and shut off, was that with the GTX960? If so, was the GTX960 already running in that PC with the 6-pin PCIe cable connected to the graphics card?
