Just to start off with some specs:
CPU: Intel - Core i5-8600 3.1GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: Gigabyte - B360 AORUS GAMING 3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Team - Vulcan 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Video Card: GeForce GTX 1060 3GB ----> Now wanting to change to AMD Radeon RX580 8GB
Case: Deepcool - TESSERACT SW ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA GQ 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
I decided to change my Nvidia 1060 to a Radeon RX 580. I followed the instructions on how to do a clean installation of a new graphics card (downloaded DDU, ran it in safe mode, uninstalled Nvidia drivers and again with AMD drivers), however I simply cannot seem to get the PC to boot with either my new or old GPU. My thought is that I somehow damaged the GPU partition of the motherboard when wiring up the new card. The GPU has 14 slots (6 slot and 8 slot) for the PSU, my old graphics card only had 6 slots so I wasn't sure how it should be wired up (and I couldn't find any instructions telling me the right way). Here's a rundown of what I tried:

Here's a rundown of what I tried:
- Inserted the Radeon GPU with only the 6 slot connected to the VGA port of PSU. Computer went through multiple automatic reboots, but never managed to reach the BIOS.
- In addition to the 6 slot connection, I Connected the 8 slot GPU to the second VGA port of the PSU (using a separate power cable). PC managed to boot, I got to the windows log-in screen, however it froze before I could do anything further. After that, PC failed to boot to BIOS on subsequent attempts.
- Connected the 6 slot and 8 slot to one VGA port, no boot.
- Connected just the 8 slot to one VGA port, no boot.
- Connected the 6 slot to 2 VGA ports, no boot.
