Problem Booting Up
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz

Corsair 500M power supply

Was running a Gigabyte GTX-660 and had bought and installed a EVGA GTX-960. I'd also bought the 8GB RAM stick as one of my 4GB RAM had a short. Well I uninstall the 660 and the old RAM, install the 960 and the new RAM.
The power turns on, but my rear aux fan doesn't power on and there is no activity in the hard-drive. My keyboard doesn't seem to be receiving any power and my monitor stays blank. I check and double check to make sure the GPU and the RAM have been sat properly and it all looks good. The power supply hooked up accordingly and nothing out of place. So I do a bit of tinkering. I put the power for the rear fan in a slot beneath my GPU and it turns on, but that doesn't solve any other issues.
I then removed the GPU entirely and detached the hard drive. The monitor and keyboard become responsive and notify me there is no drive to boot from. I re-connect the drive and boot up and everything works fine.
I decide to re-install the 660 but the problem persists again, the display stays blank and the keyboard remains inactive. So I'm suspecting I've a short somewhere in the motherboard, I've a power supply going bad or I've somehow shorted out both GPU's. However when the 660 is plugged in and seated the fans turn on, but nothing else.
At the moment I've no GPU installed and everything seems to work just fine.
Thoughts? Do note I'm not to savvy with computers. I've only got the basics down.
