[SOLVED] Installed new GPU, System BLACK SCREEN on boot

[MohanSTR]

Hi guys,

thanks for taking the time to view this thread.
I just installed a gtx 2060 from a gtx 970 and when I boot the screen just black. It’s like my monitor doesn’t recognise the GPU.

I installed my old GPU and now I’m getting the same issue. Black screen even though the lights are on and the fans moving.

HELP! Thanks

Specs:
CPU:Ryzen 1600
GPU: 970 to 2060
PSU: 750 W
RAM: Corsair 16gb
MOBO: B350 Tomahawk

There is, not on command line, but on that video I sent.

Try reinstalling windows with your old graphics card. Im afraid to turn off my computer or reset it now, but after reinstalling windows with my old graphics card installed, I haven't had an issue for 7 hours

After reinstalling with my old graphics card things seem to be going well. My new graphics card is a 1650 super and old one was a 1050. my power supply is a RD450-2Sb

I would find it very likely a 450W supply is unable to handle the load. Also, a 1650 super consumes significantly more power than a 1060 (I thought it was a 1060 from an earlier post). It isn't that this is a lot of power, but the rest of the system is also consuming power, and I would bet the combination with the 1650 super exceeds the power supply's ability...the old video would have been running near the upper limits of a 450W supply.

I have a 750 watt PSU, and the wattage requirements are the same for both my previous and upgraded GPU.

Its fine though I just took the GPU back and I'm going to purchase another one.

So I sent it back to where I got it from and they tested it. They said there was nothing wrong with the GPU...

damn. Ever since reinstalling windows with my old GPU everything has worked fine, I feel like it has to do something with the drivers then. when I install this new GPU and if my computer dies ill be back here.

I think its a PSU problem

Hey @Mikeov

Hey - did you ever find a fix for this? Seems like I may be having a similar issue with my new 2070 super.
