I've attempted to clean the GPU PCI-e port, reinserted the CPU, verified the pins, moved my GPU to another machine (it works fine there), reset and updated the BIOS, plus tried various PCIe version options and similar settings.
Yes, the setup includes an i9 10850k processor, Z490 Aorus Elite AC 32Gb SSD, Corsair Vengeance LPX 850W power supply, EVGA G2+ 2 SATA SSDs, one hard drive, and an RTX 3080 FE graphics card.
I understand, my GPU needs to operate on PCIe x16 3.0, not x4 3.0.
I don’t have another GPU to try on this motherboard, though I’ve purchased a new one that should arrive by Monday. If it’s not the GPU and the socket looks fine, it might be the CPU or possibly the PCI-E connector is faulty... I’m really hoping for a solution soon.
