hi all got up today and went to power up pc. and it did not start so started to look for falts . and found this when i take the gtx out of the pc . it starts up . and when i put it back in with out the pci power leads it starts up with full fans on gpu and bios button light on card is on . but as soon as i try with power leads in card pc wont start

Does the system run with another gpu instead of the 480?

So when the card isn't connected to the PSU your system works fine, when your card is connected to the PSU then the system doesn't start?

If that's the case it sounds like a PSU problem
