PC won't turn on after connecting 6 and 8 pin psu cable to GPU

My PC won't turn when i plugged in the power cables to the gpu.

PC turns on when gpu is slotted in to PCIE without connecting the power cables.(Unable to see any display as my cpu doesnt have igpu)

No spare PSU or GPU so I'm unable to check if it's faulty PSU or fried GPU.

Tried changing the psu to gpu power cables also didn't work.

Motherboard: ASRock B760 Pro RS CPU: Intel i5-13400F GPU: MSI GTX 970

EDIT: Apparently it's a failed PSU. Replaced my PSU and now everything works. The weird part is that my old PSU was bought early 2023. Oh well.
