Graphics card not detected

I recently bought parts for a new build, i have updated everything except my ssd and hdd's.
My specs are:
MSI GTX 1070TI
MSI Z270 gaming pro carbon (second hand from fleabay)
I5 7600k
Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000MHz DDr4
Corsair CX650M PSU

The problem i am having is my graphics card, correctly plugged into the 16x PCIe slot, does not provide any output. The fans spin up when turned on. I have used my integrated graphics and it works fine. I have checked the device manager and nothing shows up in relation to the GPU. There is nothing in the BIOS in relation to the GPU.
Things i have tried:
-Re-seating the GPU in each of the PCIe slots
-Re-seating RAM
-Loosening CPU cooler
-Inserted old GPU, same issue
-Inserted GPU into old PC, it boots with picture
-Changing cable to PSU
-Changing cable to monitor
-Using different monitor
-Resetting CMOS
-Updating BIOS

So my guess is the PCIe connection somewhere along the line is buggered. Is there anything else I can try? Before I buy a new motherboard could the issue be anywhere else?

Thanks for your help

If the card works in another system, you have the 6 pin power connector from the PSU attached to the card, you have the display cable from the monitor connected to the card and not the motherboard, a second graphics card does not work when connected and you are certain that the power supply is 100% ok, then the only thing it CAN be is the motherboard.

Since you bought the board used, I'd say it's highly likely that is the problem. I'd contact Ebay for a dispute resolution.

Likely you are correct and a miner or other use has burned out the PCIe circuit on the board.

It's looking that way, I am going to buy the same MB and see if it works. Will post back here when i do. Not sure if i am going to get my money back though, it has been a few months since I bought it, I just haven't got around to being able to build it until now.
Thanks for your help, bloody crypto miners, made my build super expensive as well.

I agree. I am not a fan of the miners, in fact, I will not offer help to anybody who posts here if it's a mining question or related to mining. Nope, not gonna help somebody else make money. If they want to make money, they can figure it out on their own or go to the mining forums.

Well I have good news and bad news. I fixed my issue, but i also had to buy a new MB. Oh well lesson learned, don't use eBay!! I'm going to go ahead and say it was a dodgy PCIe connection.

Eh, using Ebay isn't NECESSARILY the problem. You just have to be VERY selective about WHO you buy from on there. Don't ever buy from anybody who doesn't have a very high number of past sales and at least a 95% or higher approval rating. Anybody without a 95% or higher rating and at least 500 past verifiable sales, doesn't get my money.

Sucks that your board was bad, sorry to hear that. At least you got it going now. Lesson learned. Unfortunately, not a very palatable lesson though. Makes you want to kick somebody right in the kneecap, I know. Good luck Chris.
