Just weird. You have to find another ddr5 card. The memory on the video cards are independent and really should not affect anything as this is most likely just coincidence. I still think the cards are bad OR the motherboard may be bad as well. May be worth an RMA>

That board has onboard graphics... Starting to wonder if you are having a conflicting issue there.

But from what i can gather you cant do anything with the card installed correct? you cannot even get into bios with either of those cards installed?

do you see your cards on this list. it may also be possible those cards are not compatible. Do you have another computer to test the ddr5 cards?

You may need to RMA that card. It's hard to think that you have 2 bad cards but its possible. Without being able to get anything on the screen its hard to see whats going on. Best thing to do is to test it on another machine if that is possible. But i would say go ahead and RMA it.

And you are correct that card should work with that motherboard.

After you updated bios one more thing you can try is to go back into bios and restore to default settings.


**EDIT**

one sec checking something real fast.

What is the brand of your video card?
