Hello, I will try to explain my problem and the things I have done to try to overcome it.
I bought used ASUS GeForce 1060 DUAL 3GB from a trusted seller (today my friend tested the card and it indeed works). After trying to install the drivers for it using GeForce Experience I restarted the PC, and upon turning it on all you could've seen was BIOS info, then W10 logo, and after that, the screen went black - there was no "No Signal" message, it was just black (but the monitor was working) with no fans running (they were running prior to Windows loading screen).
I have tried installing many drivers (from safe mode), with and without DDU, updated BIOS. I even tried removing CD/ROM and a few extra fans that came with Z600 Workstation because I thought there was not enough power for the GPU, it is always the same, no matter how I install the driver (I even tried running both cards in different slots) and so on and so on...
So, my question is - is there anything else I can try to make it work on my old computer? I searched the net prior the purchase to check whether the card was actually compatible with my old PC and I found a few examples where the poster had said that it was (there are instances on UserBenchmark with the 6GB version https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/HP-Z600-Workstation/875 ).
