Video card not detected?

Go to solution Solved by yudothat2me,

Got this solved. Solution was video card was not pushed in enough. On my prior boards, everything kind of just dropped in the slot and was a go, this one took a push and I didn't realize it.

I am having issues with getting my video card to work in my build since I replaced the processor and motherboard. Video worked fine in my old system that was a Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 with a i7-2600k running at stock speed. The system will boot into Windows 8.1 with the video card installed, but I only get a black screen. If I connect to the onboard graphics then I can boot into Windows and I don't have a black screen. I cannot figure out if I have a setting wrong in the BIOS maybe or if something somehow is not connected correctly. The video card is getting power as I can see the fans spin and the green LED's at the power connections are lit up green. The video card is not showing up in the BIOS, in Windows or in CPU-Z. I tried installing the drivers for the card and it only installs basic configuration (not detecting graphics card).

 

My system is as follows:

 

CPU: Intel i7-4790k (stock speed)

Motherbaord: ASUS Maximus VII Hero

Video card: ASUS R9-290 Direct CU II OC

CPU Cooler: ThermalRight TS-120

PSU: EVGA SuperNova 850G2 850W Gold

RAM: Corsair 16GB (4 x 4GB) CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 (XMP)

Boot drive: Intel 520 series SD 240GB

2nd SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB

1st HD: WD 7501AALS-00J7B0 750 GB

2nd HDD: WD 1600JS-00NCB1 160GB

Optical drive: LG HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NSB0

Monitor: ASUS VG248QE 144Hz 24"

Keyboard: Corsair K90

Mouse: Corsair M65

Speakers: Bose Companion 5

Case: Fractal Design Define XL R2

 

I have tried replacing the motherboard (thinking it was PCI-e slots were bad). I replaced CPU after ASUS tech support said they thought it was the PCI-e controller on the processor. I have upgraded from a Seasonic X660 PSU to the one listed in the specs thinking I didn't have enough juice going to everything. I know the monitor works fine and the cable is good. I know the video card works because I had a friend swap it into his system and it worked fine. I have tried running it with 1 stick of RAM, disconnected all drives except boot drive and nothing seems to change anything at all. I am totally stumped as to what could be causing this. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
