i just bought a 970 gtx card and installed it in my computer. I had to change where the hard drive bay was because the card is so long. I pulled the old card out(550 ti) I moved the hd to the bottom bay. And installed the 970. Plug everything back in and the green light comes on my mobo(Asus p8z77 v-pro) but when I hit the power lights come on the fans and they spin for about half a second then turn off. I have to flip the power switch in the back to be able to get the same response. I can't just keep hitting power button. After once it has no reaction. I brought my psu to best buy for them to check it and they said it was good(corsair cx750m). I can post a video of what happens when I hit the power but all that happens is lights and fans come on for a split second then go off. When switching cards I didn't mess with the cpu or heat sink at all. I can pull it out if you think I should I have some extra paste. I'm so sad I can't use my new card yet :'( it worked fine right before I unplugged computer to install new card. I did have my cpu overclocked to 4.5GHz
Thanks for any and all help
