Posted (edited)

I bought a new RX 470 (SAPPHIRE) , my motherboard is a small one , when i place the GPU in the PCIE slot the end of the ram slots come in the way and also the sata cable connected to the motherboard blocks the base of the GPU . I removed the extra sata cables and managed to push the GPU in but i guess its not fully inserted and thus i have no DISPLAY on the monitor .

Any suggestions how to fix the issue?
