Solid Amber light on power button after installing GTX 1070 video card on a XPS 8700
Hi All,
I have replaced a EVGA GT 730 video card with the EVGA GTX 1070 Founder's Edition video card on a Dell XPS 8700. Once the installation was finished I powered the PC on and only got an amber light on the power button. I powered off and replaced the card with the old one, checked for any loose cables, and tested the power supply successfully. I am still getting an amber light with the old card back in. My fear is the motherboard short circuited. Please tell me I am wrong and someone else had this issue and was able to fix it!?

Do you have an upgraded power supply unit? A min 500w psu is required and the 8700 doesn't have that. see this-- www.evga.com/.../product.aspx and this-
