[SOLVED] no display after upgrading graphics card white led on asus motherboard

[xeryl]

i recently bought a Gigabyte Eagle NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060 12GB OC Windforce for my pc so that i could upgrade from my old Sapphire AMD RX 580 8GB gpu and I can't seem to get this thing to give any HDMI output no matter what i do, ive used DDU, ive reinstalled my old gpu and it works fine; there is a white LED on my asus motherboard which apparently means that the onboard graphics arent displaying and i have to give them props; i didnt know captain obvious was into building pcs. can someone help me fix this nonsense? specs below.
os: windows 10 pro
motherboard: asus rog strix b450-f gaming i
cpu: amd ryzen 7 2700
64gb ddr4 corsair vengeance pro rgb ram
psu: evga 650 bq 650w psu
old gpu: sapphire amd radeon rx 580
new gpu: gigabyte eagle nvidia geforce rtx 3060 12gb oc 2.0

RMA it, assuming it has warranty

it doesnt :/ i have come to an interesting crossroads however, i installed my old gpu again and now im having the same problem with it; i install it, black screen but this time no white led on the motherboard. just like with the rtx 3060, the fans are spinning and leds are on, just no display so i dont think its a faulty hdmi port because the hdmi port on the rx 580 was fine and i didnt damage it or anything

sigh it's a tale as old as time, i didn't update the bios on my motherboard
