I'd try changing Primary Graphics from IGFX to PCI-E and disabling Gfx Low Power Mode. Not familiar with the other settings unfortunately but hopefully someone else will chime in. If Windows can't see the card, that implies that the card isn't properly recognized by the board at all so power might indeed be the issue. If so, a server PSU + breakout board and cables is around 50$ and might be the cheapest option besides some Molex->PCI-E cables (those 6-pin connectors on the board are PCI-E, right?).

Also you can always do a CMOS Reset to change BIOS options to their defaults if something gets screwed up.  Grin

Well Eule again thanks for the help, but I have a new problem now.  I switched the Primary Graphics to PCI-E in BIOS, plugged in my HDMI into the 1070, and booted.....black screen.  I shut it down, and tried to go into BIOS again and switch it back.........now i don't get a screen at all LOL.  I take it the board wants to use the PCIE but doesn't recognize it yet.  Seems I can't even get into BIOS now  Huh

Now where does that leave me now.....Can i reset BIOS to default somehow? Or Is my next step a 750W? server PSU + breakout board (yes they are 6 pin connectors - see photo).  You recommend Parallel Miner, which type breakout board X6B 8 PCI-e, X8 16 PCI-e...?
