Your RTX 2080 isn't recognizing the x16 slot but does on the x4. I attempted a different GPU in the PCI-e x16 port and encountered the same problem, with another GPU also working on the x4 slot. Some sources recommend updating the BIOS (I did that), and others mention adjusting the PCI-e slot settings on other boards. This applies to the Z590 as well. I've performed a BIOS update, tried booting with just RAM in every slot, used the x4 PCI-e port without storage, re-seated the GPU and CPU, and inspected both ports for damage or blockages. Details: -z590 Aorus Elite AX (motherboard) -Intel Core i9-10900KF 3.7 GHz LGA 1200 (CPU) -RTX 2080 Ti (GPU) -Corsair AX 860 W 80+ Platinum (PSU) -G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 (RAM)
