Graphics Card Issues?

[MrZippy]

Hi

I am currently struggling with an issue. My new graphics card isn't working, and over the past six months, I have been fighting with this matter. I RMAed my first graphics card from Zotac, which they did admit that it was faulty, so they sent me another. Problem solved, right? Well to my dismay, the new graphics card did not work. I assumed it was the company that I purchased it from, so I sent a complaint to Amazon and got a refund. I then purchased a better graphics card from EVGA. I received the new graphics card a few days ago and still, no display from the graphics card. I do, however, get a display from the onboard graphics. At this point, I believe that it is a problem with my motherboard, however, the board has only one PCI express lane, so I cannot put it into another lane, and I have no other PC to test this in as this is my first build, therefore I have no way to test the card. When the PC starts (with or without a graphics card in), the VGA EZ debug light comes on. So, do you think it's a problem with my motherboard? Maybe my power supply? Should I take my GPU to a local repair shop to test my card? I don't know, what do you guys think?

 

My specs:

CPU: Intel Pentium G4400 

MOBO: MSI H110 Gaming

RAM: 2x Ballistix Sport LT 4GB

GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX 1060 6GB

PSU: EVGA 400W

Does your PSU have the necessary 6 pin PCIe connector to power the 1060, and are you using it?

It's very rare TWO different cards from TWO different manufacturers will have the same fault with them.  So i can only assume it's something your end. I'm guessing you have the N1?  That does have a PCIE power connector on it.  Like @Crunchy Dragon has said make sure you're using it

@Crunchy Dragon @YouSirAreADudeSirI am using the 6 pin PCIe connector from my PSU to power the card. Also, the card that I got from Zotac was a Geforce GTX 1050 which requires no external power source.
