Question Motherboard wont recognize GPU

[alexwatt16]

I just got a GTX 1080 and i have confirmed that it works. but the motherboard in my computer wont detect it. I have used the same slots for another Geforce card, and it works perfectly, but nothing I do seems to allow me to use the GPU. Ive even tried replacing the power supply.

PSU( I've used two different ones with the same result): Segotep 650w gold (the current one, This is the same model of PSU in the pc that I tested this card in) and Thermaltake SP-850AH3CCB

UPDATE I have confirmed that while in the PCIEx16_2 slot, the card shows up, but is reading as using x0 lanes (I think that's what it says, honestly I'm quite new to this)
However, when in any other x16 slot, it does not show up.

Yes, I have done all of this. Apart from the driver bit. Nvidia won't let me download any drivers because they can't detect compatible hardware.

test the 1080 on another working pc?
sound like there an issue with it

 

[alexwatt16]

Yes. I have. I have confirmed that the card is fully functional. I have also confirmed that my motherboard is fully functional, with another Graphics card.

I can now get it to show up in PCIEx16_1, however it still won't assign any PCI lanes to it.
