I've recently bought a Mini Monitor 4K that I ran for one job in my Mac Pro 5,1 with no issues. But when I plug it into my PC (well a Hackintosh, actually) the motherboard demands that I 'plug in PCI power to the graphics card' and refuses to boot or go any further.
Is this right? There's no power connection on the card, and it's a brand new Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 motherboard. The card is in the lowest PCIe slot - the 4x slot. I don't want to put it in the middle slot because that will knock my 1080ti down from 16x to 8x.
Should I be doing something in the BIOS to stop this and let the system proceed? Can't find anything about this online or in the manual.
