New Gigabyte mobo connects to Red VGA light and works with GPU.
I recognize my GPU because it was functioning during my last build two days ago. I purchased it two weeks prior. My motherboard and CPU operate normally since removing the GPU, and the onboard graphics run without issues. The GPU isn’t working with the new motherboard. My GPU model is Asus TUF GAMING OC GeForce RTX 5070, and the motherboard is GIGABYTE Z790 S WiFi DDR4 LGA. The CPU is an Intel Core i9-12900KS at 3.4 GHz, paired with G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB DDR4-4000 CL18 memory. I’m certain my power connection to the GPU is correct, as it was on my previous build two days ago. All other components are from the old setup; only the motherboard is new. Apart from that, I have an ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 280 A-RGB 69.9 CFM liquid CPU cooler. I’m puzzled about the VGA error despite knowing my GPU and CPU are fine. The MOBO also works when removed, suggesting the PCI slot might be damaged. There are two other slots nearby, but they’re too close to the panel buttons for my 5070. It seems I’m limited to just the primary PCI port. No clear solution yet—any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Good news: I'm having some issues. I had to wait a while for a display, which was quite long. I used the basic display adapter for Windows until I got the right drivers for my RTX 5070. I also thought the card might be dead because the fans weren't spinning, but it seems that's not the case anymore until it gets hot. The VGA red light probably came from the lack of drivers, but it's now off.
How long did you have to wait? I'm also experiencing a no signal issue.
