I'm having 2 GPU's a 960 and a 1070, It used to detect both of them, but since I can only have my SSD running (without optical drive and hard drives running due to the gpu interruping the SATA slots on the second PCIe slot), I just unplugged my SATA cables(besides the SSD one, this one does work because it has a low profile cable.) So I just thought I will put the GPU in with only the SSD running and whenever I need the hard drives I will unplug the 960 and plug the HDD's back in. And so I did, but the thing is when I went to plug the 960 again, It doesnt detect it. I tried looking around in the bios and I couldnt find where it would show my GPU's so I have no idea if it detects it or now, but power is supplied,the leds are working and the fans are spinning, but it doesnt detect it on device manager or on nicehash( i mine bitcoin when i'm not using the PC). They are not running in SLI, the main purpose of running them together is bitcoin mining, but that's besides the point. I tried to plug one of my monitors to the 960 port and the monitor is working which is very strange, what could cause this? how can I fix the issue? I tried reseating it (to the same position as my drive cage interrupt it going on the other PCIe slot, and the drive cage is not removeable.)

Any solutions? I am using a GIGABYTE Z97-HD3 Motherboard.

First, Uninstall all drivers from all GPU's http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html. (in safe mode for Windows 10 skip to 2. way https://www.digitalcitizen.life/4-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-10)
After you have uninstalled graphic drivers, First install for 1070 or 960, then after installed reboot and check if it recognized, then install second gpu seperatley and check it, and then try to boot with both gpu's, it might show that drivers install for one or another gpu, after its done restart it.
Now it should work for both gpu's.If not we are going to try another way.
Hope i helped.
