Intrepid Goat

So no luck with re-seating the cards... I'll be returning the wifi card tomorrow, thanks for your help guys!

Unfortunately I've got no other systems... I'll try putting my GPU into the bottom x16 slot to see if the wifi card works in the x1 slot. Otherwise I'll try returning the wifi card.

Ya the system works fine without the wifi card... I think if none of the other suggestions work I'll have to go the USB route...

Thanks, that's what I'm trying at the moment. Maybe I'll flip it around?

When installing the PCIe wifi adapter (TP-Link AC1300) into my system, my computer appears to boot, however there is no output from my GPU (RX 460). the fan of the GPU spins, the chassis and CPU fans spin, and a green light on the wifi adapter lights up but beyond that the system doesn't do anything. I'm using a Ryzen 1300x CPU on the Asus TUF b350m mAtX mobo, with an M.2 drive and a HDD for storage. The motherboard manual and other forum posts online say that I can have a GPU in the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot making the PCIe 2.0 x16 slot act as a x4, which should work with the wifi adapter but that doesn't seem to be the case here. From what I know about the motherboard and chipset, the M.2 drive should disable SATA ports 5 and 6 and not occupy any PCIe lanes. Are there anything BIOS settings to remedy this? Am I forgetting something really obvious or am I SOL? Feedback is appreciated.
