I RMA'd the first MOBO for the issue and just finished installing the new one and my 550TI still isn't working. I flashed the bios and still nothing. The card was working when I pulled it out of the old MOBO which doesn't guarantee it still working now but I didn't drop it or anything. Nothing in BIOS to disable the integrated GPU - an 8700K with whatever comes with that. I searched and found some advice to check device manager which seems like bad advice since as far as the system is concerned there is no discrete card in the machine. EVGA drivers won't install because it can't find the hardware. I've done a fresh install of Windows 10. I don't have the ability to try it in another computer.

Anything I'm overlooking or could try???

Wow, OK, I'm an idiot. I forgot to plug the 6-pin power into the card. I guess I thought it drew power from the MOBO when I dropped it into the slot.

Thanks...
