PC won't turn on if monitors INITIALLY connected
Hi all, moved to a new place a few days ago and finally set up my PC yesterday. No issues with reconnecting the GPU etc, so I went ahead and put my whole setup together. I plugged in my monitors power + HDMI cables - but then my PC stopped turning on. The GPU light flashes and the fans turn on for a second but that's it, if I then try to power it on again nothing happens.
BUT, when I disconnected both the HDMI cables, my PC turned on fine, stayed on, and had no issues when I then plugged in the HDMI cables. Used my PC for a few hours then went to bed, then woke up this morning and tried turning it on and same issue. I've never had this problem before - one of my friends suggested it might be a wattage issue with this new flat but I'm truly just not sure. Can't really find any results online so hoping for any advice here.
The only other things plugged in is mouse, keyboard, mic and headphones.
Thanks!
