I recently formatted my pc and all seem to work well, i booted up my system with integrated graphics, but when i decided to plug in my GPU it doesn't boot up. the fans are spinning and everything, but it just wont boot. my monitor just go black and nothing happens.

have you checked if its set to output only thru the intergrated graphics in the bios? there should be an option for it with the options "igd" (intergrated graphics) and "peg" (dedicated graphics) though sometimes thats labled differently

not yet, trying it now
its currently set to auto, not integrated only
^wont boot with this option

have you plugged your HDMI / DP cable into the graphics card or the mainboard?
idle otter
yes...
lean schooner
so which one?
idle otter
when the gpu is plugged in, i tried connecting my monitor from both, still no luck
i am worried i shorted the gpu somehow, i have nowhere to test the card on another system

Try different ports

i tried D:

newer cards require multiple power connectors. have you plugged in all of them?
idle otter
it is a gtx 970, and yes i plugged them all in

you could try to temporarily set the preffered gpu to onboard, boot and install the drivers and then try again
idle otter
what drivers do u mean?
*update: i enabled onboard graphics while gpu is connected and it'll boot up, but as soon as i switch the port from my mobo to my gpu, the display is gone
i am currently downloading the drivers for it, hope it'll work
YESS, it worked thanks for all the help guys
lean schooner
no problem
