Slotted a RX 560 into a Asrock Fatal1ty motherboard while the computer was on by mistake. GPU no longer being recognized. I understand it's probably bricked, but is there anything I can do?

Does it work in any other systems or in different pcie slots? You might have damaged the slot rather than the gpu, but yeah... not good.

Tried in first slot rather then second, board appears to be posting but its not coming through the GPU if it is.

Go into the BIOS, and make sure the default video out is to the external GPU rather than integrated. Some boards might not switch automatically so it's worth checking.

I have another identical card that posts, this one does not, but maybe somehow it'll work.

To no avail.

I guess you did brick it. The only way left to really confirm is to try another system. Do the fans even spin up?

@CobbleWalker Here's a thought, does the card have a dual bios? If it does, can you try swapping to the other one?

 

If not, can you boot the machine with both cards at the same time, and find out how it gets recognised once the machine is running? If it still gets detected properly within Windows, you may have options.

No dual bios :(. Went into HWinfo64 and not recognized there either.

If it doesn't appear *at all*, not in device manager or anything else, then it's pretty much definitely dead. 

 

Sorry for your loss buddy.

Being plugged in by itself is no issue I have exchanged parts with it on the wall for the matter, not ideal but fine, it would only die if it was turn on which seems is the matter here... but then it is bloody hard to believe someone wouldn't have noticed it before hand

Not my proudest moment, for sure, but there are no lights on my board aside the one that indicates a second gpu is plugged in, and I must of hit reset instead of shut down. This probably could have been avoided if wasn't in a rush, but even so I had no intentions of slotting the gpu while the PC was on. I have no one to blame but myself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
