I upgraded my computer's cpu, mb, ram from [i5 4460, Asus H97 pro gamer, 4x4gb ddr3] to [ryzen 5 2600x, asus b450m-a, 2x8gb ddr4], and after some 'video bios rom' problem solving I got to the point where everything was ok except my graphics card(Asus gtx 1060 3gb) didn't work(no signal), changed back to previous build and it worked, I'm guessing some kind of compatibility issue... Any ideas or workarounds?
Other components:
2 hdd
1 sata ssd
630w psu
 
Make and model of the PSU? 630 is a weird wattage and that will often mean it's a firework waiting to go off. For the question to this thread, yes the GPU should drop right in but you're going to have to make sure the PSU is reliably built unit.

You should also list your current system specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:

Did you reinstall your OS after you changed the platform over to Ryzen?
 
I've sent the new system to a local computer repair shop to be tested and as tested it worked with a different gpu( and psu), they said your graphics card is broken(!) but it isn't...

Current/Previous build:
CPU: Intel core i5 4460
Motherboard: Asus H97 Pro Gamer
Ram: 4 x Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB DDR3 1866Mhz
SSD/HDD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB, WD Blue 1TB, Seagate Barracuda 1TB
GPU: Asus Dual Gtx 1060 3GB (The white one with 2 fans!)
PSU: Thermaltake 630W
Chassis: Raidmax Cobra

New build:
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x
Motherboard: Asus Prime B450M-A
Ram: 2 x Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 3000Mhz

And I didn't reinstall my OS.
