1070 won't display in top PCIEx16 slot
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2018 2:59 am
I just upgraded my system to a Ryzen 5 1600, and a Gigabyte GA-AX370-Gaming motherboard.
I had a 970 in there before I received a 1070 off of my friend. Everything worked fine with the 970. The 1070, not so much.
My motherboard has 2 PCIE x16 length slots. One running at x16 (top slot), one running at x4 (bottom slot). The 1070 will boot fine from the bottom x4 slot. The x16 slot will allow the system to turn on, but will not display anything.
I get no output to a monitor WHATSOEVER. No BIOS at all from the 1070
Here's a list of things that I've tried already and were unsuccessful:
Complete Mobo swap. I swapped the board out with another matching model, still get the same error.
BIOS Update
BIOS Reset
CMOS Reset
Driver uninstall
Tried the 1070 in my other FX8350 / GA-990FXA-UD3 system and it posted
My 970 boots from the top slot
The 1070 only boots from the bottom PCIEx4 slot.
I'm open for any suggestion to try to fix this.
