GPU and Motherboard Compatibility

[sarahestill]

I have a asus geforce 3g gtx 1060 GPU with the 970 pro gaming aura MB. i cannot get a BIOS screen nor beeps, i suspect it has something to do with the GPU but can't confirm that, this is my first build so just incase its a varible my PSU is a 8350 AMD FX. I've gone through a cables checklist, taken out the motherboard battery, removed and replaced ram in the same slots. Can anyone point me in the right direction maybe?

power supply wattage?

Is the graphics card installed in the PCI-Ex16 slot closest to the CPU? Check to make sure it's fully seated in the slot.

Just to confirm, you do have a PCI-E power cable from the power supply to the graphics card? If so, my next recommendation would be to try the card in another computer (say a friend's computer) and try another card (also from a friend) in your computer.

There isn't any compatibility issue between the motherboard and the graphics card.
