Have you tried other PCI express slots?

Have you tried other PCI express slots?

no but they are 2.0 and only one 16x and one 8 x

[Tmh85]

no but they are 2.0 and only one 16x and one 8 x

Its fine if they are 2.0 they are backwards compatible, try different slots because maybe the PCI slot may have fried

So have you tried another motherboard? Also just as a recap it works only if your graphics card is not plugged in?

[N3rot0xin]

Did you try clearing CMOS on the motherboard? 

 

 

Also, the rest of your hardware in your rig would be helpful in diagnosing your issues.

 see if you can get your hands on a different gpu. its possible your gpu may have failed

[loony979]

It may be a bad gpu not sure ,GTX 760 should still be good. If you have another pc or a mates pc to put it into try that out then get back to us.

Grounding issue (probable not)

Dust inside the PCI slot , moister if it's been a very rainy day not sure best bet is to take it into you're local pc shop get them to look at it.

May even be a defective MB as (i think i may be wrong here but) there is a chip on the MB that controls PCI slots that mite of busted or even a Cap ,mite need a new MB is what im thinking.

If you have a debug speaker / motherboard speaker on hand, plug that into your motherboards speaker header(On your board, its located down behind the PCI slot, its a 4-pin header). Restart the system and listen to the beeps. Refer to your motherboards manual to find out what the "beep codes" mean. That should give you a pretty spot-on result as to whats causing the issue. 

 

If your manual isn't handy or you can't find it, refer to this link for the beep codes

Once you have done this, post back with your results and I or someone else will further assist you.
