Alright, so I've made a mistake, and I'm fully aware I f'ed up. So here's my problem:
My friend recently purchased a new GPU, and offered me his old one. It turns out his old GPU is an RX 580 8gb sapphire pulse, which is the same, as my current card (different brand). Since I planned on buying a new card sometime next month, I figured I might, as well experiment with crossfire, and see how well it performs. I heard in some games (crossfire compatible) you gain more fps. So before installing the new card, I used DDU to remove all trace of my old drivers, so I can install new ones. As I was checking through the settings in ddu I was prompted to block windows from automatically installing drivers when plugging in a new card. Like an idiot I am, I skimmed through it, without fully reading what it said, and I clicked "ok". So I hit clean, and restart, and now I have no display. Obviously because I blocked windows from automatically installing a display driver, and this was my mistake. I hadn't done any tests to try and fix it, because I was running late to work, so if anyone has any clues on how to fix this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
My specs:
Ryzen 7 1700 OCd to 3.6ghz
Asus Rog Strix b450 gaming f motherboard
Patriot Viper Elite 16gb DDR4 2666mghz
Red Devil RX580 8gb
650watt Raidmax PSU 80+ bronze
