New GTX 1070 pass POST no signal

[Dingleberg]

I'll try to keep this short and sweet.

SPECS:
i5-4670k stock clocks
Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H
GTX 1070 / Radeon HD 7970
16gb 2x8 Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
XFX Pro 550w

Today, I received my new GTX 1070. I plugged it into my motherboard and have no signal on boot. These are the things that I have tried in no particular order.

I have updated my BIOS to the latest version.
I have checked all power connections so that they are all secured properly.
I have cycled between two HDMI cables and a DVI-D.
I have restored my BIOS to default settings.
I have tested my 1070 on not only my pc, but 3 of my friends as well. It works fine on all other rigs, just not mine.
I have cleared my CMOS.
I have used DDU to clear all previous graphics drivers.
I have reseated my ram (someone recommended this during a google search).

My HD 7970 still works fine in my pc, just not the 1070. I'd like to believe that my issue is software based somewhere. Also I know that my pc boots into windows as I can still hear the windows loading sound as it boots with "no signal". My 1070 does in fact receive power. Fans spin up on power gain and LEDs light up and stay lit.

I know there are other things that I have tried, but my brain is fried at this point and I can't think of them all. Please, if you have any advice at all, feel free to post it and I will give it a go. Whether I have tried it already or not.

Card is most likely Doa. Missing a connection somewhere. Just because the cards looks like it has power doesn't mean that it is a good card.

But the card has worked without issue on three other rigs. It is only my rig that has the problem.

Sorry I must not have read through enough. No idea here. I would say a issue on your end but the 7970 boots so that doesn't make sense. Could put the 7970 in run Display driver cleaner then turn off install the new gpu and see what is does.

Have you tried inserting the GTX 1070 in the PCIEX8 slot?

Just tried doing this. It did not work.

Also did not work.

Thank you guys for the advice though. I'm also thinking that it may have something to do with the psu pci-e cables? My psu has one 6+2 and one 6 pin, but my 1070 needs two 8 pins. I thought that may be the problem since I'm using an adapter for the 6 pin to 8 pin, then I realized my 7970 also requires two 8 pins and it has been working fine with the adapter.

On the other rigs that you've tested the card in, did they have two 150 Watt 8-pin PCI-E Supplementary Power Connectors?

Each rig tested on had a Corsair cx500 psu which has 2 x 6+2-Pin connections. That is the only thing that comes to mind that may be the issue.

Then I would say that is the cause of your problem.

Okay cool. I will pick up a new psu tomorrow and update on if it works. Thank you

Update: Last night I was running through the steps again and as I switched the card from my second to my first PCI-E slot it worked! 13 hours of straight troubleshooting and I finally got it.

Not 100% sure what the problem was, but putting it back into my first PCI-E slot the second time worked. Thank you all for your help!

Changing the PCIe slot forces the motherboard's BIOS POST routine to redetect the hardware and reassign interrupts and port addresses.
