SOLVED New card no workie!

[Chum]

Everything plugged in. Motherboard gives me 5 warning beeps and no screen. The cable coming from my PSU is marked "VGA" but it is 6 pins with a 2 pin tied next to it. I assumed to plug them both in to make it a 8 pin connector. I have re seated the card and checked and re checked the connections. Still not working. It is a MSI Ventus 3X 3060 TI

By chance, are your PCIe lanes shared?

Guess I need to update my signature because it is working now!!! NOOB mistake. Just did not use enough force to seat the card. This time I laid the tower on its back and when I pushed on the card I heard a louder click. I thought "that sounded good"!
Thanks to all who tried to help!
