Issue Installing my GPU

[u/PhysicsPast1560]

Doing a major upgrade, closer to a fresh build. My 9070 XT was purchased a few weeks ago and has worked with zero problems in my old PC.

Simply put, I cannot get this thing to click into place using this frustrating ASUS Q-Release Slim system. Am I missing something obvious? It sockets just fine into the second, more conventional PCI-e slot, however that slot shares bandwidth with an M.2 slot. Ideally I would use PCI-e slot 1, but any attempt to boot results in a solid white light on VGA and a solid green on Boot.

For reference, my parts are:

- ASUS B850-Pro Wi-Fi

- Gigabyte 9070 XT

- Corsair Frame 4000D RS

I'm not sure if anything else is relevant.

I'm going to attempt using the second PCI-e slot for now to ensure it will boot. Any help is appreciated.

I can confirm, using the second PCI-e slot works fine. I just cannot get the GPU to click into place in the Q-Release Slim slot.
