[SOLVED] I put my 3070 in my pc and now it wont boot

[Karimb]

Put the 3070 on the b550 a pro, and the boot light turns on every time i boot it up, also gives me a black screen on my monitor, any ideas what this could be?
I got a 5 5600x
B550 a pro
Geforce Gigabyte 3070 OC
16gb of ram
500gb ssd
650watt psu

I would say, based on what you listed. Power. A 650w psu is the minimum. If you have a lesser quality power supply, it can fail to give enough power.

Have you tried another graphics card to see if that will boot up?

Yeah my rx580 did boot up with everything, however my motherboard did have some issues detecting either gpu when i put it in the first time

I would try another power supply with that RTX 3070.

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition?

The 3070 GPU has a recommended PSU wattage starting at 650 watts.

Reference:

Could well be that the PSU is unable to support the new/additional power requirements.

Other options:

Overclocked? If so, stop. Determine if the GPU/monitor work.

Try booting into safe mode.

Verify that you installed the correct GPU drivers. Manually download via manufacturer's website. Reinstall and reconfigure. Do not use any third party driver installers.

Double check that the new GPU is indeed fully seated and that all power connections are correct and firmly in place. Both ends.

Try another known working video cable(s) even if you have to change ports (HDMI, DP, HDMI) between GPU and monitor.

Try another known working monitor.

6 months old with a 10 year old internal design. Don't cheap out on the psu with a RTX 3xxx. It's a bad and very cheap unit. Replace it for a unit with LLC + DC-DC topology.

Reset BIOS and insert the RX 580 again. Download DDU and run it in safemode to remove Radeon drivers. Let DDU turn off the system after completing the removal. Reset BIOS again, insert the RTX 3070 and fire up the system.

Also update MB BIOS to the latest version.

Good PSU brands (with good and bad PSUs): Seasonic, Corsair, EVGA, Thermaltake, Coolermaster.

650 watt is on the very low end for an RTX 3070, I would aim for at least a 750watts. That PSU you have may not be able to run the GPU when you play a game.

Of course, you are using TWO 8-pin power connectors on the GPU, aren't you? The RX580 only needs a 6 pin and an 8 pin, but the 3070 needs two 8 pins.

If you are, then it's the PSU. An "Azza Firebreather" sounds like a real piece of junk. 650W should be more then enough for a 3070, it's a 300W card. But sounds as if your PSU has a fake 650W rating and is actually putting out much less power.
