Help with installing a new GPU

Hi, I just got my new RTX 2080 and I am trying to install it. It's in the PC and the PCIE cable is in, but when I start up the PC, 1 fan spins for 4 seconds then stops, then 9 seconds later the other fan stops. The GPU is on because the RGB is on. But the fans just stop.

UPDATE: I updated the driver and it seems fine now but the only issue is that both fans are not spinning. Does it have to do with the PCIE cable or something?

it might be the fan curve . some GPU doesn't turn the fan on unless a certain temperature is met. its also normal to spin during startup then stop afterwards

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"

 

CURRENT PC SPECS    

CPU             : Ryzen 5 3600 (Formerly Ryzen 3 1200)

GPU             : ASUS RX 580 Dual OC (Formerly ASUS GTX 1060 but it got corroded for some odd reasons)

GPU COOOER      : ID Cooling Frostflow 120 VGA (Stock cooler overheats even when undervolted :()

MOBO            : MSI B350m Bazooka

STORAGE         : Seagate Baracudda 1TB and Kingston SSD
PSU             : Thermaltake Lite power 550W (Gonna change soon as i dont trust this)
CASE            : Rakk Anyag Frost
CPU COOLER      : ID-Cooling SE 207
CASE FANS       : Mix of ID cooling fans, Corsair fans and Rakk Ounos (planned change to ID Cooling)

Most GPUs have fans that do not turn on when there's no load. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

As others have said this is normal, GPU's can cool passively to a point and then the fans take over. Are you able to boot into Windows normally? What temps are you seeing on your GPU? 

yes it booted up normally but the fans just wont spin and i can feel it warming up and that sorta worries me a bit

human skin is an inaccurate measure for GPU temps. What would be burning hot to you is totally normal for a graphics card.
