I recently purchased some parts to upgrade my old Dell XPS 8500 into a capable gaming PC with hopes to upgrade the rest of the parts and case later. Ran into a major issue where upon turning on the pc with the monitor hooked up to the GPU (new PSU also installed) the monitor shows nothing and remains black even though the monitor works with my old graphics card. In summary, new RX 580, black screen no matter what I do.
I believe the issue could be from the drivers but I have already hooked my monitor up to the motherboard graphics and disabled the onboard Intel graphics and restarted the pc with the new GPU installed, but it did nothing. Every time the gpu is installed it's a black screen. If I turn the pc on with the GPU in the PCI slot (but the power isn't connected it) I can start the pc using Motherboard graphics, but as soon as I connect the power to the GPU the PC turns off (Yes I did this while the PC was running, call me crazy but I was desperate). This led me to believe it might be a power issue, but I think that would happen normally since I did it while the pc was on.
It could also be that my motherboard is not compatible with my GPU, which happens to be factory overclocked.
It could also be that my CPU does not support my GPU (not sure).
It could also be that my PSU does not have enough wattage to support my build. 550w (Upgraded from 450w)
If anyone could let me know what they think or if they have any questions to help me further resolve the issue I would greatly appreciate it.
