Hey everyone! Got a fresh GPU and ran into some booting issues. My setup includes an Intel Z68 i5 2500K, ASUS P8Z68-V PRO MOBO 8 GB RAM, and two AMD RX6600 GPUs. After swapping in the new RX6600, the PC starts up on the ASUS screen but shuts down right away. I've tried changing PCI slots, clearing CMOS, updating drivers, but nothing works. The boot LED stays on even when the system powers off. The old GPU also boots fine. Anyone experienced with similar problems on older hardware?

Always keep the main GPU close to the closest PCIe 16 slot near the CPU. Your PSU might not be sufficient for this setup.

It's positioned in the highest position, but I relocated it only to check compatibility elsewhere. Neither of them worked. My previous GPU had an 8-pin design, while this one also uses a single 8-pin connector.
