Graphics card driver hell

[TArthur99]

So I just got a ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 560. I am trying to install the display drivers but it's not being detected, it's also not being detected in the device manager. When I try to install any driver for it I get error 173(card not detected) or 175 (not supported) if I use auto detect to try and install. 

I have tried:

Uninstalling all old drivers using DDU in safe mode

Cleaning the contacts on the card

Cleaning the PCIe slot

Reseating several times

And obviously I tried several drivers

The slot works, I had a 7870 in it before and it ran no problem. The card gets power (no PSU power, just MOBO power on this card), the fans spin up and stay spinning (really fast actually) and the RGB light strobes red.

My system:

Windows 10 

I7-3770K

Asrock z75 pro 3, motherboard

Corsair RM650i power supply

16GB gskill rampage

Does the card output video? If it does this could be a Windows issue. 

 

Get your hands on a different card and plug that in to the slot and see if the system recognizes that "new" card. If you plug in a different card and find that it works then its safe to assume that it is dead and you should RMA the card.

Found the problem, stupid PCIe 3.0x16 slot died. Must have damaged it when changing cards??? (Dont know how, I was careful). I tried the old GPU in the 3.0 slot as well and it also didn't work even though it worked just last night.
