MSI GeForce 1070 not working

Hello everyone
I recently went all out and purchased a new graphics card and power supply to suit.

I purchased the MSI GeForce 1070 gaming edition. And a EVGA600B (600w) PSU.

When everything is installed all the fans and everything come on but after a while only the GPU fans go out the computer will not boot whilst the 1070 is in albeit the LED on the 1070 remains on.

I have a asrock h81M-HDS motherboard and apparently it should work - my only conclusion can be a faulty GPU?

The power cable feeding the 1070 which needs a 6 and 8 pin pice cable has both the terminations on one cable could this possibly mean that one cable isn't giving enough load?


Any hell would be greatly appreciated as I'm at a loss and eager to get on my pic.
One thing I forgot to mention is that the pc works fine once you take the card out again.
 
I'm kind of hoping to find a solution other than getting another card as this one has just burnt a while in my pocket
 
You may need to switch from on board gpu to dedicated in the BIOS.

I had to do that with my old MSI gaming board before a dedicated GPU was recognized. Some boards just need this to be done manually, as i imagine there are some that do it automatically!
 
hi guys
Thanks for the advice I tried removing the silver battery for 5 mins but nothing still and the fans went off after about 10 seconds he bios is already set to a third party card because I had one in before not on board graphics any other suggestions? :(
 
Actually you will notice poor performance with an old driver. I plugged my 770 in after using a gtx 650 and let it auto install the drivers. Then I wiped the old drivers and then installed the new driers and I got a 20-25fps increase.
 
Its a single rail power supply, so it shouldn't. It has 2 PCIe power leads. Instead of using both off the same cable, try using the 6 pin on one and the 8 pin off the other.
