ASRock Z97 Extreme6 PCIE Slots not Working

[DuckbillTurkopus]

Hello all. I'm new to posting on the forums, but I know there are a lot of experts out there. I'm having trouble with my Extreme6 mobo. I tried putting in my GPU (GTX 960) into a PCIE slot in the mobo but with no joy. The light on the GPU comes on as if everything is correct, but the motherboard does not recognize it. I have the GPU plugged in properly.

I just installed the drivers for the mobo but still no joy. The Nvidia driver says that it can't install because it can't detect any "graphical hardware." So the card is just not being detected. I tried other PCIE slots, but to no avail. Also I know that it isn't the card because I tried a wifi chip in a mini PCI slot and that didn't work either.

My setup is...

• 
  i7 4790k
  ASRock Z97 Extreme6
  Asus Strix GTX 960 2GB
  12GB RAM (Mix of 8GB Ripjaws and 4 GB of an off brand)
  Corsair CX750M
  Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit

The GPU doesn't even show up on the System Browser in the BIOS.

Thanks in advance!

Make sure in the BIOS settings that the active GPU location is set to "PCI Express" instead of "On-board/integrated".

Yeah the Primary Graphics Adapter is set to PCI Express

The GPU doesn't even show up in the System Browser inside the BIOS though
