New 1060, no display(not even BIOS)

[Light Speed]

I just upgraded my PC from a GTX 770 to a ASUS DUAL GTX 1060 (6GB). All I did was switch out the cards. I go to turn on my PC, black screen no UEFI/BIOS. The card's fans spin for 1-2 seconds and then come to a stop.

The DVI cable is plugged in, the PCI-E cord from the power supply is plugged in and even a white light comes on letting me know that it is receiving power in some form. I have already posted this but only 1 person replied and he was stumped so I thought it was appropriate for a re-post.

I have:

reset CMOS

updated BIOS

removed previous drivers using DDU

installed GTX 1060 drivers prior to installation

got a replacement card

anddd black screen

old card is working fine

MB-------------------ASUS M5a99x evo R2.0
Power Supply------XTR 650W
Processor----------AMD FX-8350 Eight-Core
RAM-----------------8GB
Video Card---------ASUS GTX 1060 (GTX 770 old card)

I sent the card back for $250 newegg store credit because I didn't want the warranty to expire. My next move is to buy another GTX 1060 but instead of ASUS, I will try EVGA because my GTX 770 is made by EVGA. I even considered upgrading to the 1070 in hopes that it would work. I am really running out of options and need assistance. I am trying to stockpile ideas to try before receiving my new card because I know it takes awhile to get responses on here.

You didn't mention the PSU's model and it's age. Please include it. Are you running that processor off the stock cooler and on any overclocks?

You should also stop opening multiple threads of the same nature. Spamming the forums is frowned upon since no one makes any progress and it only ends up as a spaghetti western. Your other thread where you got suggestions.

Steps. :

1. Plug back your old gpu and see if it works.

2. Reseat your gpu and check if the pci-e connectors are plugged all the way.

3. If nothing helps it's your psu. Buy a new psu like this one. : https://pcpartpicker.com/product/DmWrxr/evga-bq-600w-80-bronze-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-110-bq-0600-k1

Hope I helped!

XFX XTR 650W, I bought this PSU about 4 years ago when I made my PC. Processor has a Cooler Master Heat Sink with a fan and runs fine on my GTX 770. Not overclocked. Posted on 2 other subreddits as well and have gotten suggestions that were of no help. Yes I got suggestions on my other thread from 1 person who had no more suggestions for me and no more replies were coming in. If I delete my other thread before i make a re-post does that help at all since it was no help to me? If you have any other sites that could be of any help I would appreciate it.

Until you get the new card, there's not much to say. You went from nvidia to nvidia which uses the same core drivers, the updates are basically just game optimizations and some bug fixes. The 1060 should be just plug-n-play. Since you are not even getting bios or post on the monitor, it's not a driver issue, as the drivers aren't even loaded yet, you are still running on basic VGA firmware. So it boils down to 2 possibilities. Bad psu or bad card. The 1060 requires far less than the 770 does, and the 770 works, eliminating the psu as a possibility. This leads to a bad gpu, which happens. You've rma'd the gpu, so now it's a waiting game.
