That is the problem you are shorting the motherboard out on the case there are suppose to be risers and or spacers between the motherboard and the bottom of the case.
Yes on 2 boards as well. What I can’t get my head around is that I had an r5 1600 with an asus b450 motherboard I think which worked fine never had an issue, I disassembled the motherboard because I had sold them on ebay so had to ship them and the rest of the parts just sat there for 3 days until my intel cpu and board arrived, now the gpu just doesn’t get a signal anymore
In device manager does it list the GPU ever being there?
May have to select show hidden devices.
How was the GPU stored while you were waiting for new parts?
Yes the fans spin and the card was left in a cardboard box. The pc is not detecting the card at all I’ve tried show hidden devices and it still won’t show up but like I said I’ve had it tested and they confirmed it working so it’s definitely not broken
as stated in post #10, it would be good to know what type of mobo, and PSU, the shop used.
the card only stopped working for your new mobo, it worked on the old one and on the shop’s one.
for some weird-**** reason, it seems that card doesn’t like your mobo.
don’t know why, never heard of it happening before that I can recall.
or there is a slim chance your PSU is the reason.
granted - all theoretical but that’s all I’ve got - sorry!

Yes it is very strange. Thanks for all the suggestions. I will update this post if I get it working again
yes please do.
did the shop charge much when they tested the GPU in their system?
did they only use your GPU or did you give them your whole rig?
I only took the gpu down and they only charged me a fiver, he did say as I was leaving I could bring my pc for testing if I couldn’t get it to work but I know he’ll want to keep it for a few days and I’m not sure what he’ll charge, I’ve been out of work for a few months so really don’t have money at the moment
The GTX 1080 is a high end card and so needs the stability of a Gold efficiency rated PSU, Bronze are only any good for integrated graphics or at most an entry level 64-bit type card, not saying that it is definitely the cause but the extra wattage required by the new system could just be a little too much for the PSU.

When the gpu is connected the fans spin and it’s booting into windows with a black screen I know this because the second I switch the cable into the igpu it’s already on the desktop
This is odd, when you have an add on GPU in the board when you power up the BIOS should detect the add on video card and by default disable the onboard graphics, this whether or not the add on video card is working.
Check in the BIOS to see what is set as the Primary video device.
