Question Can’t get Asus motherboard to recognize GPU

[Dawoud901]

After days of unsuccessfully installing my GPU, I finally figured out what the problem may be. I think I need to change the default graphics output to PCIe on the BIOS menu but every time I try to save this setting it automatically switches back to auto on reboot. No matter what I try I cannot get the GPU to show up in Device Manager. All of the components are new or manufacturer refurbished. This is the first PC I built myself and I really want to figure this out and move past this frustration!

ASUS TUF B365M-PLUS
Geforce GTX 970 GPU
i5-8400 2.8 GHz CPU
Gskill 16 GB RAM
EVGA 650W PSU

Have you correctly connected the POWER CONNECTORS to your GTX 970 GPU ?

Yes the fans begin to run when it boots up. I also inserted my old GTX 750, which doesn’t require extra power, and The motherboard was unable to recognize this as well. I don’t think my graphics output settings are being changed in BIOS because every time I go back the graphics is set back to auto.

CMOS battery dead? Tried the latest BIOS update?
