Good news: I am retarded. I just had to wait a while for a display. Like... a long while, for a display. And I needed to use the basic display adapter for windows until I downloaded the proper drivers for my RTX 5070. Also I thought it might be dead because the fans were not spinning but...

The Facts: I know my GPU works because it was working on my last build 2 days ago. I bought it 2 weeks ago. I know my motherboard and CPU work because when I take the GPU out my PC boots and runs perfect with the onboard graphics. For some reason the GPU is not working with the new motherboard...
