Hello guys i am very worried. I bought a zotac amp extreme gtx 1070 three weeks ago. It was working fine i unplugged my gpu for cleaning purpose and reconnect it and no signal.I connect to my monitor to my 1080 and checked gpuz the gtx 1070 was not showing there. I checked device manager and my gtx 1070 was not detected. I tried to remove nvidia software through DDU but still same result please help me and my psu is Corsair Hx 1200i.

First of all, just wanted to make a statement that your PSU is very overkill, I'm pretty jealous.

Now, onto the real topic. What did you use to clean out your computer? Was it something that could conduct electricity or something useful like compressed air or such? Was your graphics card touching anything that could conduct static electricity to the card?

When you took out the graphics card and set it to the side, do you think there was anything around it that could possibly conduct static electricity to the card? This could be anything like a coin, carpet, etc.

So basically you tested out the 1080 in that computer to check if the system itself is functioning correctly.

So, we can throw out the possibility that the PCI-E slot or something else in the system is causing the problem.

Can you test out the 1070 in another computer and see if it can push out any other display than the one in your old computer that you used to use? if it still doesn't show display in another computer, I'd just go through Zotac's RMA process instead of going through the hassle of fixing the card yourself.
