So I just purchased an EVGA GTX 1080 FE the other day, put it in my Asus P8P67, and turned my computer on. The Asus logo appears, I get the usual POST succeeded beep, but instead of starting to boot into Windows it just hangs and gives me a short, quiet beep about once a minute, which according to the manual means "VGA detected, Quick boot set to disabled, No keyboard detected" which doesn't really make sense. And I'm sure I didn't break anything because I swapped back to my old GPU and Windows came right back to life (and yes, the keyboard works), then swapped to the GTX 1080 again and got a frozen UEFI and beeping again.
Now Asus is basically ignoring me (I'd heard their customer service has gone down the drain over the years, though given that this board is years out of warranty I wouldn't be particularly surprised regardless) and EVGA is saying that seeing as I already have the latest BIOS installed, there's nothing they can think of or help with (which does surprise and disappoint me, given their good reputation and the fact that this is a brand new card).
Before I take it back to the store (and possibly take the 15% restocking fee hit), I figure I might as well check if anyone online might have any ideas as to what's going on. Any help is appreciated!
