So I just got a 3080 and I'm having some serious issues.

After a long time installing it, cause it's kinda big and also I had to change my PSU I got it installed. The computer previously had a 6500XT on.

Ok, so I installed it, the computer turned on, all good. A few secs later, screen goes black and while after that I hear the GPU fans going full power.
I turn it on again, it seems like it updated the video drivers, cause gone was the scaling on the 4k TV, everything looked tiny. I went to get the drivers. During installation, screen went black again.

I tried uninstalling the amd drivers, then I couldnt get video after it restarted.

I got afterburner and it doesnt recognize the videocard.
Also I noticed that once windows loads up, its fans dont spin.

Freaking out here.

Model of GPU as well please
 
The GPU is a Gigabyte 3080 Gaming OC

The gpu previously installed in that build was a 6500XT by Sapphire with a Gigabyte 550W power supply.

Then I also tried the 3080 in my other computer

MSI Z97 Gaming 5
i7 5775c
2x8GB DDR3 2400Mhz GSkill
XFX 750W XXX Black Edition

There I would be able to reach the BIOS, but never ever Windows.
