Thank you everyone for the help and suggestions.

whoismoses: I have tried it as the only card directly into the motherboard and on a riser.  Onboard graphics posts, but not the video by any output source.  The BIOS won’t read the card at all.  I haven’t tried with a different cable than SATA, but I can absolutely try with a 6-pin or maybe a MOLEX.  If this works, I will need your wallet address.  Yes, I have verified the cable by using the same power cable and PSU on another card, which worked fine.  The 8-pint port is broken but I’m not sure why.  I have a total of 3 rigs running, and that may have happened when I was moving the cards around between the rigs.  It connects securely, but I included the picture in case this is the reason it doesn’t function, what I believe to be the most likely explanation.

heodrim: Yes I have separate rigs running, and this card doesn’t work in any of the motherboards anymore.  I will try to discharge the capacitors with your step-by-step instructions and if this works, I will need your wallet address.  I thought the LEDs were just dim as an option, but the lights were running full blast until the card stopped working.  As a test, I have tried other cards using only PCI-e powered risers and get the same dim lights.  The working cards also do not post when only connected by PCI-e risers.

remauto1187ma: This GPU is one of many.  I have tried it as the single GPU on the motherboard and tried it as one of many GPUs on the motherboard with the same result.  This card is the only one that does not read in BIOS or in ethOS.  I have swapped the power cable for other functioning power cables and got nothing.  No, only the cables that came included with my Corsair HXi series PSUs have been used.  The measuring of ohms is something that I have not tried or even considered.  I will order an ohmmeter and get back to you on this.  If this leads me to getting it working, I will need your wallet address.
