Intended to upgrade my rig with a brand new GPU-card (Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8Gb). Used the 8/6+2-pin PCI-E connector supplied with the PSU, checked and double-checked all connections, both cables and PCI-E socket. Everything seems OK - but the machine won't power on, completely dead. No sign of life.
Then I removed the 6+2 pin power-cable from the GPU-side (but keep the cable plugged in on the PSU side of things), and the Hackintosh fires up and everything works fine (using the I5s onboard gpu.) Shutting down the Hack and re-install GPU card over again - and everything is dead. Any ideas, anyone? Is the new GPU-card toast? The PSU? I guess it is not a BIOS-issue or anything, since the build never powers on. Am I missing something here?
Parts:
Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming K3
Intel Core i5-8600K
Fractal Design Integra M 550W PSU
