Trouble with Asus Gtx 780 pins

[SmoothOpertator]

For reference. It's the 780 OC edition.
I built this myself (new to buiding) this is the final step and I'm stumped. I'm using hdmi. I think both lights have to be green for it to work. I tried every possible combination and none worked (even if they weren't both green). My monitor kept saying plug the PCIe cables to power my gpu. I had one combination that worked, the 6 pin and then the 2 pin, and it was completely green. But instead of giving me the error message nothing came through the monitor at all. Can someone school me on this?

Make sure you have your 8-pin and 6-pin power connector from your power supply plugged into the top of the card first. Should be at the top towards the back.

You just need to find your 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors coming from your power supply. You had both of them in the first picture you posted. They are labeled PCI-E. Just find one that is 8-pin (has eight holes in it) and one that is 6-pin (6 holes) and plug them into your GPU and you should be set.

I did exactly what you said. The 6 pin light is green, but the 8 pin is red when fully plugged in. The monitor still tells me to connect my PCIe power cables

If you have another 8-pin try it. Otherwise it could be your power supply. Whats the brand, model # and wattage of the PSU?
