[SOLVED] Possibly incompatible Graphics Card and Motherboard?

[Socra]

Hello everyone,

Here is my build:

Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor

GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB Video Card

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory

Storage: Seagate BarraCuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition 57.3 CFM CPU Cooler

PSU: EVGA 600 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

The LED on my motherboard lights up with the VGA LED error light. When i received the first GPU i got this error. So i tried using another GPU, 1070 ti, and that worked, computer booted and everything. So i sent the card back thinking it was DOA. i have now received the replacement and i am getting the exact same issue, no post and the VGA LED lights up on the motherboard.

Could it be possible that the GPU and motherboard aren't compatible? Did i received another DOA GPU? Am i missing something here?

Thank you.

All GPU's work on all modern motherboards, so it is very possible you received a defect GPU.

Hello,

Do you have the latest BIOS installed on your PC ? Try to reset and clear all the CMOS BIOS settings to default value, and like mentioned above try using a different PSU if possible.

One with more watts? Or just different brand?

Would removing the battery from the Mobo reset the BIOS how you are mentioning?

Yes, removing the battery for few minutes should do the trick.

So I tried the gpu on another computer and no input either. Another dead gpu?

That's highly possible

Why is nobody recommending to try a difference PCIe slot? That could definitely be the issue.
