[SOLVED] Changed GPU, now it won´t start up.

[miHaanes]

Hi, I changed my GPU from a Geforce Gtx 1060 to an Geforce RTX 2060. When I tried to turn on my computer after the switch, the pc just rebooted over and over again. lasting for 1-2 seconds. I tried to change the GPU back to the Gtx 1060, but the same thing happend over again. I thought the problem was the PSU (W500) when I tried to use the 2060, but now I don´t know if I broke my computer somehow by trying.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? or am I just dumb for trying, Thank you.

You're not dumb. If your PSU was a low quality PSU and old and on it's way out maybe the 2060 was too much for what it was capable of. Don't forget that PSU degrade after time.

What is your PSU exactly? Brand and model?

Cooler Master B500 V2 KOMPLETT Edition is the PSU name.
thank you for responding.

That PSU isn't the best, so I would agree with Nemsia that it is probably a PSU issue. If it goes, it won't matter if you put the old GPU back, it still won't work. I would start with getting a good quality PSU and replace it to see what happens. I would look at least a 550 W power supply, such as a Seasonic Focus, Corsair TX/RM or EVGA G2 model depending on what is available in your area.
