GTX 1070 draws power from the DP connected to the monitor...
At first I thought it was my monitor providing power to the PC through the graphics card when in fact its the graphics card (got a replacement monitor and its not the monitor at fault). The problem is that when I shut down my PC i cannot start it up again unless I turn it off via the main plug. The graphics card is holding the power when the PSU is even switched off, it draws the power from the monitor through the Display Port input cable and keeps the graphics card LED's lit and my corsairs water cooler leds on. I believe the graphics card is to blame for, as it draws the power from the DP's input and holds the power even when the PSU is turned off. AS soon as I remove the DP cable; the graphics card leds turn off and so does my coolers. It took me a while to figure out and this is a second thread as the first one died (hope its not a problem) any help at all will be appreciated before I send off an RMA request.
