System fails to recognize new graphics card.
System fails to recognize new graphics card.
You're experiencing issues because the system isn't properly seated or configured after removing the motherboard and installing the GPU. The drivers might not have been fully applied, or the case might not be stable enough for the new components. Try securing everything firmly and ensuring all connections are correct.
Are there any gaps or misalignments in the motherboard mounting points? Could a piece of case steel or similar material be touching where it shouldn’t?
The 6700 PCB appears to be thinner than the 970's, which might affect proper seating. It's unclear if board thickness is consistent across all GPUs or if there are differences between manufacturers. If it requires several resets to function, the issue could stem from that rather than the physical design.
