Whats your specs????
Do you hear a beep when starting up?
Is there a long beep?

if is out of the box DOA, it could be your motherboard or PSU.

I had that issue before, to know if is your graphic card problem or board problem.
I move the graphic card to the 2nd pcie slot to test. if all boots up ok. Then is the 1st PCIE slot is the problem. If both slots do not boot up proper, it could mean your gfx problem. Then RMA the spoil one.

Next time, post the specs so that we know the problem you are facing. No specs, we can only try to give you general answers.

GTX 760 OC Hawk with Seasonic 520w the modular one.

I plug the 2 8 pin in already. One of the 8 pin is adapted from a 6 pin though.

The cable to the gfx is labeled as pcie so I guess its the right one?
