Question AMD GPU not displaying after switching from NVIDIA GPU.

[Jyz1126]

Hi there guys, Just a quick question.

Recently my cousin had allowed me to borrow and use his NVIDIA GPU (RTX 3050). At the time I was using a RX 580. The installation process was very simple and everything turned out fine. I used DDU to Uninstall my AMD drivers and then installed my NVIDIA GPU in the PC. PC would post and then I installed the NVIDIA Drivers and everything turned out fine.

Now my cousin said he was fine with using my RX 580 on his pc, So when I tried the process of uninstalling the NVIDIA drivers with DDU It was fine. but then I installed the RX 580, turned the PC On and.. nothing would display, no signal. I then took out the RX 580 from his pc and installed the RTX 3050 back in and, the pc would display fine?

Does anyone know why his pc wont display when a AMD GPU is installed? The pc turns on fine and everything, but it just doesn’t display anything.

Any help would be appreciated

What make/model PSU is in the system trying to use the RX 580? Did he/you connect the PCIe cable to it?

A CMOS/BIOS reset sometimes will get a stubborn GPU swap to work. Write down any BIOS settings you want to setup again before trying it.

The PSU in my cousins PC is a CORSAIR CV550 550 Watt 80 Plus bronze. And yes I connected both 6 pin and 8 pin PCIe cables into the RX 580.
