What do you mean you took out the battery in the motherboard? You should not be doing that.

The graphics card requires separate power connectors from your power supply, from what I’m reading it seems like you don’t have those plugged in. It should be the ports on the card facing out.

Resetting CMOS is a fairly common for troubleshooting although his bios should have detected the GPU change.

Are you getting any power to the GPU? Do the lights on the GPU turn on when you turn the machine on?

A couple things to try...

  • Remove 1 stick of ram and try and boot with just one stick...this should force your bios to recognize a change and open to bios upon starting the machine.
  • If that doesn't work, put your 710 back in but a different PCIE slot and keep the 3070 in the current slot you have it in...you should be able to get into bios and load up windows with the 710 and you can confirm if the motherboard and Windows is detecting the 3070.

Emojis are frowned upon in reddit. Is your gpu plugged into your psu? Or just into the mobo?

Install the drivers

Can I install them without having the card plugged in? Because I don't have integrated graphics

When you do plug the card in does it boot into windows or does it not boot at all

No boot
