I've had a 3080 FTW3 card for about 3 weeks now and it was running splendidly. I wanted to try the OC switch on the side of the GPU so I shut my computer down and flipped the switch from normal to OC. I booted my computer up after the switch and it stopped recognizing the GPU. I had to change to my integrated graphics to do anything as there was no video output.  I immediately turned it off and switched it back to the normal setting from OC. It didn't fix the problem and my computer still doesn't recognize that there is any PCIe device attached, according to my bios. The RGB lights are still on my GPU(no red error lights) and my motherboard doesn't indicate that it is installed incorrectly or that I am missing a GPU as the VGA light isn't on. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or is RMA my only option?
 
All my parts are brand new and fully compatible as it was working perfectly until I tried the OC switch. I even tried resetting my CMOS and reseating my GPU. I also tried the second PCIe slot to check if my motherboard was malfunctioning. Nothing works, it is still unrecognized by my computer.

    Make sure the switch is fully pressed to the right or left. Disable your igpu, and make pci-e the primary graphics device to be used inside the bios.
