Hello.
I got an RTX 2060 recently to replace my GTX 1050, and in preparation for the upgrade, I read an online tutorial which said to uninstall my NVIDIA graphics drivers before upgrading. After doing so by uninstalling the program from "Add or remove programs" in Windows, I checked Device Manager to find that there was a device called NVIDIA GTX 1050. I uninstalled that too, and turned off the computer, unplugged, etc. to replace the card.
After installing the new card, with the power cables correctly inserted, I turned the computer on and the monitor gave a "No Signal" message. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 so I cannot use the iGPU to check BIOS, Device Manager etc., which is what every online tutorial about a black screen says to do. It seemed like the fans were running at 100% speed as if the 8-pin power supply wasn't plugged in, but after checking the power connections with the PSU and the 2060 I couldn't find a place where the power was disconnected from the GPU.
What's more, after reinstalling my 1050 to try and get the monitor working again, I have the same problem, and I know it can't be the PCIe power cables this time because my 1050 doesn't need any.
What could possibly be causing this issue?
