  • I hate to even ask, but you are plugging your video cable into the video card and not the onboard integrated graphics I hope?

    Strip it down to a minimum. If it’s got two sticks of ram, make it one. Unplug all drives, remove nvme if it’s on the board. Unplug everything but a simple USB keyboard.

    Check it boots. Yeah? Pop your GPU in. Does it boot? No?

    Do you get fan spin? Does the board have an indicator light, or is it like a dell where failure to post will (hopefully) blink the power light in a coffee sequence? Does it just power right back off?

    What wattage is the PSU, and how much extra load does this dgpu put on it?

    If it DOES boot with minimal hardware plus the GPU, put one thing back at a time till you find the culprit.

    I’d also suggest logging into a live os of some sort, and running lspci -vv and seeing if the card shows up correctly, be it in the x4 or x16 slot. Id also suggest trying any other x16 pcie card you’ve got lying around, and checking it functions.

    If the GPU has two (or more)outputs, did you try each?
