PC wont start with GPU plugged in via PCI-e

[CivilDrone]

My guess gpu might be dead as I cant see any other issue
PC runs with 0 issues from the onboard gtx
As soon as the card is connected and try to boot it seems like it shorts
Tried with heatsink on and without still the same issue
Tried bios reset and CMOS battery removed
Narrowed it down to a dead card but maybe someone has ideas?
Thanks

Card worked fine
Had a look and there is no obvious damage on the gpu nor can I smell anything funny
Ordered another cable just in case, normally hold well but you never know with those things
Cheers for the help
