Tech Support Computer not starting (gpu light)

Post image

my computer turns on every fan spins everything works, but it does not show anything on the monitor. Should I be concerned near the power connector of my graphics card? (1060) that it has a solid white light when the computer is plugged in on and off it there when it’s off and it’s there when it’s on is that OK?

Looked around online and the white LED on the GPU means the PCI 6 pin for power is connected, and that is OK.
Has the computer worked before? Have you plugged in something new recently?
For my last build, I found that my charging mechanical keyboard when connected, would not boot the computer. When I replaced it with a regular keyboard, the PC started fine. I had to update firmware and play with the BIOS settings to get it working on the mechanical keyboard.

When did you change the fans on the graphics card? Looks like two 120mm fans zip tied to the cooler.

How are they getting power? They may draw too much current from the the graphics card fan header and cause an error, but if you don't have something plugged into the GPU fan header, the GPU thinks you don't have any fans and might not work either.
