GTX 680 problems, Wrecks main board

[Rene77]

i tested this Asus gtx 680 which came with a bunch of computer stuff.

When i only connected the 8 pin, the PC still started and gave the error on the display that also the 6 pin needed power.
when all connectors where powered and both leds were green, the PC did not boot, Fans where running, but nothing else.
Even when removing the GTX this failure kept on the main board.
No boot, no beeps, only the fans running, nothing else.

main board was a Asus B85m-G, PSU 650 Watt.

Tried a second (old) main board with a dual core, same results.

What can be wrong with the GTX, and what can be wrecked on the main board?
CPU and Memory are ok.

Plenty of troubles here ... I will only mention the Asus B85m-G for now . Sometimes on constant repeated errors , the Bios would shut down to protect the board and eventually get stuck doing it . Try to reset the bios , re-seat the bios battery ,re-seat Memory modules .. Things to force the bios to re-check ..Of course ,without the suspected VGA .

Thanks for the reply.
Yes indeed many problems here.. :-(
No chance in resetting the B85M, without memory it does beep, but when placing the memory it just does not boot., no beeps etc. just fans running.

Welcome friend .. check if the battery bios voltage is more than at least 2.8 volts , try another memory module , keep the board running for many hours , and then try again .
