Question Z170 Krait Gaming GPU Pci-e slots, help

[Icee]

Hi, So I have just bought this Z170 Krait Gaming motherboard and hooked up everything correctly. I have even taken it apart and put it back together multiple times. The problem with the motherboard is that no matter what I do the GPU is not detected. I have updated the BIOs, unplugged everything and back, tried all the slots on the mobo, looked in bios to see if there is a place to enable the slots if they are disabled? didnt find nothing, and also tried different GPU's. I cant even install the drivers because it doesnt detect the GPU. Could the slots be bad or is there something I need to do to enable it? Everything else works fine its just that.

Many gaming GPUs need additional power direct from the PSU, have you connected these where necessary?

You will also need to post full system specs including PSU make/model for us to help you further.
