Hello everybody,

So I have a problem. I built a system on my own 6 months ago. Everything was working, but since I had to move, I had the pc shipped to my new location (except my monitor).
I bought a different monitor, but when I plugged it, I had no signal (using the GPU).
But whenever I use the integrated graphics, It works.

The problem is that right now I can't use my GTX 1080. The fans are working, it lights up, but is not detected by my motherboard (it doesn't appear in the BIOS).

I changed the slots, I've used different cables (HDMI, DVI, DP), and still nothing.
Any chance the GPU or the motherboard broke down due the shipping?

My system is:


CPU: i7 7700k
RAM: 32 GB
GPU: ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1080 STRIX-GTX1080
Mobo: Asus Z170-A
Storage: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB
PSU: Corsair 650W

I've also added some pictures.

Thank you!

If the GPU was installed inside PC during transport it could have been damaged - although usually such damage would be of physical nature and thus visible, plus more likely it would be damage to the motherboard slot itself, not the GPU. But you tried another slot, so that is unlikely that slot was damaged. Recheck power connections to GPU (PSU is modular so at both ends), try different cable slots at PSU, try different PCIe cables (your PSU should have 2 of those I think), reset CMOS to force full hardware detection. If all this does nothing, last step is to check if GPU works at another machine.
