I was getting ready to upgrade GPUs (1060-->6800xt) last week, and one day removed the old 1060 GPU and reinserted it into same socket while power off, but then the troubles began.
On the 1060, I started getting into a situation where GPU fans running but no signal on comp monitor or when plugged into TV. This had previously been a reliable build for 1+ year.
Purchased new 6800XT, and removed 1060 and put in 6800xt thinking that might fix problem. New 6800 GPU lights up, fans do not spin, no signal on monitor. Have tried resetting CMOS at least 10x. Have tried removing all RAM. Have tried booting with only one RAM in A2 slot at a time. Have tried using a different PCIE slot. I have ensured all connections snugly connected, including the PSU to CPU 8pin, and there are two independent PSU --> GPU 8pin PCIe connectors firmly attached. Have tried different cable, switching from DP monitor cable to HDMI and back. Have tried multiple displays, always no signal. Bought a new Corsair 850watt PSU today, no difference. Tried quick reflashing Bios today, no difference.
I cannot get to BIOS as my monitor is black. The mobo lights up when hit power, corsair Ram RGB lights up, CPU fans spin, but GPU fans do not spin on the 6800XT. No warning LEDs lit on mobo. No beeps.
Hardware:
-5950x chip (1 yr old)
-rog strix 570e mobo (1 yr old)
-750watt evga gen 2 PSU --> bought new corsair 850watt PSU today
-corsair RBG 16gb ram-6800xt GPU
-2 seperate PCIe cords from PSU to GPU
What do I do now...? There is no integrated graphics so no way to even get to BIOS
