Motherboard Not Detecting GPU

Hey guys. I have an ASRock Z77 Extreme 3 motherboard that I just got back from RMA after it shorted out. Everything is running fine minus a lot of Windows errors (that a reinstall will fix), and the big problem, my GPU not being detected. It's a GTX 660 Ti OC (Gigabyte). It worked previously in the motherboard that shorted out. When I put it in, either connected to my power supply, seated in the motherboard, or both, the fans spin, but it's not detected. I've made sure it's dusted off, I've tried to update and change the BIOS settings, and drivers are a no-go because it needs to detect the hardware before it'll install them. The main thing I'd like to figure out is if my RMA is a dud, or I need to RMA my GPU now, or if there's a solution I'm missing all together.

Edit: I've tried all PCI slots and no matter which it's seated in, the System Browser in the UEFI/BIOS does not show it as being seated. It does however detect my network card, case USB, RAM sticks and processor, all of which have been reseated in an attempt to pinpoint the problem.

No, I don't. Think I might take it by a shop and see if they'll test it out. There isn't one close though. I'd like to think that's not what happened. Really low on money. I did get a break though. An unknown device is showing up as being in PCI bus 0 device 20 function 0, which from what I researched should be my graphics card. I'm afraid to restart my computer though, in case of the event that it disappears.

I think I'll try running the Nvidia driver update I downloaded yesterday and see if it detects the hardware now.

Update: Still not detecting the GPU is there. Windows seems to though, as I have no other device that would be unknown. My headset, keyboard and mouse all show up as normal devices. I'm stumped.

Agh. I hope Gigabyte has a fast RMA process. I haven't gotten to use my computer for but a week all summer, and school starts in less than a month. Some summer this was.
:/
