The PCI-express spec has a limit on the power draw it can allow for a GPU
If it takes more than that it has extra power connectors. That might be a
good check. make sure you don't have a connector not connected on your GPU.
and/or try power on without a GPU connected. (if there is no video at least
you will get power up and beeps.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
