I just built my new computer, and while my GPU seems properly seated and my monitor is connected to it, I keep getting an error message that says, "Please power down and connect the PCIe power cable(s) for this graphics card." I'm using a Corsair RM750e power supply and made sure to plug in the 6+2 PCIe cables, but I'm still facing this issue. The fans are spinning fine, and I even updated the BIOS successfully using Q-Flash. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Have you checked the PCIe power cable connections again? Sometimes it can be tricky to make sure they are really seated properly. You might wanna try unplugging and plugging them back in to make sure they’re secure. A loose connection can cause this issue.
I did double-check, and everything seems to be plugged in.
Make sure that you're using the right cables from the PSU. Sometimes, the cables can look similar but aren’t fully compatible. Also, check if the PSU is set to the right mode if it has any switch. That can sometimes help.
Good point! I'll look into that. Thanks!
I checked multiple times, and I'm sure they're clipped in.
