Question New MSI Motherboard - suddenly stopped detecting GPU ?

[thesharksta]

Hey everyone,

I just bought a MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC motherboard. First few days, everything worked fine. I swapped a new MSI water cooler and for some reason had to reset Windows and now my GPU is not being detected.

Specs:
CPU: Intel i7-8700
Board: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
RAM: 2x 8 gig Samsung
PSU: Whatever came with my old Alienware Aurora R7
Windows version: Windows 10, 64bit Version 1909

I've already updated BIOS, tried resetting CMOS, checked PCIe connections, GPU connections (power/to board), reset Windows again. On BIOS it says nothing is in my PCIe slot.

My PC currently does not have anything Nvidia related, including Nvidia Control Panel. Nvidia won't let me download any drivers or software, as I encounter a "Current version of Windows not supported" as well as "No compatible hardware detected"

Any help would be greatly appreciated, however I am about to just RMA my board.

Tried that as well as switching PCIe slots. Switched my PSU yesterday to a 700W, still has the same issue. Testing it with my old MB today to see if it's my GPU or if I need to send my board back to MSI.
