Pc not turning on

[/IMG] the cable with blue is the pci-e one going into the gpu. The one above it is going into the motherboard. (tried with and without it) and the bottom left one is the vga cable going into the gpu, is that correct? As soon as I use the blue cable though, which is what I need, nothing works.

Is the blue cable off a different PSU?

On the EVGA product page, all the plugs should be black.

And no that is wrong. CPU should not go to GPU.

Yes it came with it all but not sure if it was with the new gpu or psu. How am I suppose to use the pci-e slot on the gpu, where would the other end go, the cable only fits the cpu slot. I can see if there's another pci-e cable

Mr Arky · 25 May 2014 at 10:41

It's the only cable of it I have, apart from the one from my old gpu and psu which is the same looking cable

Use one of the other VGA cables (black plug) the same as in VGA 1. plug it into VGA 2 and plug it into your GPU. Don't worry if you have the extra 2 pin plug spare.

The vga that is currently going into the gpu from psu has a 6 pin vga coming from it which fits into the gpu. The the pc starts up but it doesn't seem to run well. Screen will flicker black every now and again and the bios screen takes like 5, minutes to load. And won't allow me to even access the bios

Can you post a picture of the cables going into the GPU.

Mr Arky · 25 May 2014 at 11:08

[/IMG] with the 2 vga cables In it is now running, but in the instructions it says I need to use that pci-e cable. (blue other end)

Looking at photo of your PSU the bottom left one is it labelled VGA or CPU? Looks like you've plugged in two CPU cables and only one VGA into the PSU

Mr Arky · 25 May 2014 at 11:24

I have a vga cable with 8/8+6 connectors connected. And 1 cpu slot with 8/4 connected to motherboard at the top left of mobo. May call someone in to do it, typical as now I'm a miss watch dogs which is one reason I upgraded in the first place :-(

freddie64 · 25 May 2014 at 11:28

Going by this picture there is no cable with a blue plug. :confused:

Is the cable in VGA 1 a 6+2 and 6 pin combined?

Assumed with a powerful card like that you would need to use two separate cables.

dacads · 25 May 2014 at 11:38

Did that blue cable come with the PSU?

You have two cables connected to the graphics card but only one of them is in PSU? If blue is PCI-E then move it into a VGA slot because currently it is in CPU 1..

Mr Arky · 25 May 2014 at 12:04

That's the thing the blue pci-e cable will only fit into cpu slot on mobo

Mr Arky · 25 May 2014 at 12:05

And ye I'm sure it did come with psu actually

dacads · 25 May 2014 at 12:40

Use another PCI-e cable, there should be 4 in total
