Sounds like it isnt in the slot all the way.

i tried taking it out and putting the card back in many times now..no luck

try differnt ports on the gpu

you should get a signal eventually

if not then connect via your mobo and install drivers and you should be able to connect to your gpu after you do that

Have you tried setting it to dedicated graphics in bios?

Also I had same issue earlier this year with z97 board and 580. I would only detect it in the PCI x8 slot and I got a refund. Ended up getting a Z87 model that worked just fine.

Did you...
Uninstall your old gpu drivers completely,
Then install your 970 driver?

Triple-check the power cords are plugged into your GPU, re-seat the GPU if necessary.

Also, if you haven't done it already, uninstall old GPU drivers

all the pieces were brand new except my psu
anyways i finally got pissed enough to take it to a local pc shop and they told me it is a defective gpu
i just plugged in my old radeon hd 6850 and it is working fine on this new rig

-----____________------ i guess i go try to rma this?

Yeah, rma it. Sucks, but it happens.
Did they reseat the gpu, and re-plug the 2 pci-e cords from the psu?
Which driver did you dl?

Did they try the other gpu slot?
