Hi all, I've just bought my son a new graphics card and PSU. I'm having a few issues...I have connected all cables to the PSU but when turning it on I get a brief spin of fans and a flash of LEDS then nothing.
The led stays lit on the motherboard.
I'm pulling my hair out and my son is gutted he can't play his PC.
Specs:
Corsair RM650X
EVGA gtx 1070 FTW2
ASUS M5A97 R2.0
AMD FX-8350

I've done the compatibility checks and all seems fine. Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks Jon
 
Yep, all cables in and seated properly. I tried the new PSU with the original Graphics card in first and had the same result.
 
All works fine with the old PSU but I don't think its man enough for the new graphics card. Also its a Corsair VS450 so only has one cable with two 8 pins for the graphics card. Im I right in assuming the GTX 1070 needs two separate 8pin cables rather than one cable with two 8 pins?
 
I've connected the CPU and GPU 8 pins to the 6+2 PCIe and 4+4 CPU on the PSU. Is that correct? There's nowhere else for them to go.
 
Budforce: with either card the PC only fires up for a brief moment...fans spin briefly and the leds flash. Im assuming power is getting to the motherboard as the green led stays lit.
RexAlba: I'll try to get a photo uploaded.

If I can't get the new PSU to work. Will I be ok using the old PSU for now? Its a Corsair VS450 but only has a single GPU cable with dual 8 pins.
Thanks both.
