Is it a modular PSU? The cable might be fried. If you can replace that it might help. Make sure it’s the right cable for your PSU. Some people mix them from other PSUs with disastrous results.
If that doesn’t help it’s tough to say what’s dead. You’ll need to put the GPU in another computer to see if that’s the issue or the PSU.
Don’t screw around with power issues. If you have a loose cable that causes the system to shut down unexpectedly get it fixed. You could fry the whole computer one day.
