Hello guys
After 8 yrs I decided to upgrade my pc with a new graphics card, the brand new 1660 S from gigabyte.
Turns out , my pc can't boot. It just pops up that bios screen from Gigabyte (also my motherboard), which is normal, and then nothing.
My previous card had a 6 pin pci-e slot but this one has 8 pins. My psu, a Corsair cx600 had an extra two pins to insert into the new GPUs slot. I did it, and still nothing. I also tried using just the 6 pins, and still nothing. The hdmi cable is fine because I tested it with my old card and worked perfectly.
I'm starting to think that my card maybe flawed. Any ideas before I return it back?
Thanks

Ok guys, I tried uninstalling the drivers from the old GPU. The result is the same. It doesn't boot. Every 30 secs or so it produces a beep sound , just like before.
Should I install whats on the aorus cd in safe mode?
