Only booting without GPU

Hey everyone! I just finished my new build but I'm having a strange issue, and I cant seem to find anyone with a similar problem/has tried my solutions. 

 

Components:

- Asrock b450m Steel Legend

- Ryzen 5 2600

- Gamdias liquid AIO

- G.Skill tridendZ RGB (2x8gb)

- RTX 2060

- 1 ssd

- 2 HDD

- coolermaster 550w PSU (rotating from PSU to PSU)

 

When i try to boot absolutely nothing happens. no post, no fans, nothing. I put an older GT220 card in, and it works fine. Re-hardware tested the 2060 in another computer and it worked great. So im at a loss of whats happening.

 

I have tried:

- Changing the PSU, tried everything from a 550w bronze to an 850w gold.

- Updating windows

- Different Power cables on different PSU's

- installing 2060 drivers

- different PCI-E cables (on the modular PSU's ive tried)

- Updated BIOS

- Second PCI slot

 

Any suggestion or help is greatly appreciated!

sems like broken pci e slot or broken gpu (preventing mobo from booting)

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

if the slot was messed up, it shouldn't allow for another card to work in it though. Currently im typing this with the GT220 with no cable power in the slot and everything is working good. Also should add, at one point the fans did spin on the 2060, but no post happened.

i took the PSU from the computer that did boot successfully with the 2060.

 

PSU from the other computer into your Ryzen 2600 system, and that didn't work?

RTX 2060 into the other computer + that PSU, and system works?

If so, that more so points to either the motherboard then...or CPU.

 

Top PCI-E X16 slot on the B450M motherboard is wired directly to the CPU.

The bottom slot is through the B450 chipset on the motherboard.

i should have mentioned this sooner, but the "best" power supply i had tested was an AX850 gold. it however didn't have the proper cables. if i remember correctly i had put the card in without plugging in the 8 pin PCI-e power and the screen said "connect power to PCI-e"  i plugged in the power (which wasn't the proper one) and nothing happened. would that be a direct pointer to power problems over everything? If so, i feel like an absolute idiot and should probably just buy a new 750w gold or higher PSU....
