I am having an issue with my new motherboard. I just bought a Sapphire Radeon R390 card and it works well and I can get into Windows. When I get into BIOS, specifically the GPU Post section, I don't see the card listed. I tested the card in the secondary port and I could see it there. I have the latest Bios, 1504. I checked the seating and it seems fine. I would hate having to send it in and be without a computer for a week or so. Any suggestions?

"I don't see the card listed. I tested the card in the secondary port and I could see it there."
If I understood well, the 1st PCie slot does not work?

Might check that you have the latest BIOS

That is just it works. I get into Windows successfully with the primary slot. I just don't see it in BIOS GPU post section where the ports are graphically represented. The secondary slot, however will show the card when I place it there. The strangest thing I contact Asus support they said it was seating...

Interesting. Have you tried clearing the CMOS (unplug the power cord and remove the CMOS battery for a minute)?
If still no go, I'd leave it like that, since working with no other issues.

I know I should just leave it like that since it is working. It's just 300 dollars for a motherboard is steep and to have a major component like the PCIE p
