I am upgrading from a GTX 960 to an AMD RX570. I uninstalled nvidia using DDU in safe mode. After installing the new hardware and powering on, I get the usual post startup success beep and then 8 beeps that I've read means, "display memory read/write test fail" and the card does not display.
The RGB drivers on my keyboard start up so I think it's safe to assume the system boots windows. I've tried the RX570 on my friends PC and it displays, so something must be faulty in my system.
I've tried resetting the BIOS to default and booting with the new card but that did not work. Could there be other firmware problems? Should I try updating my BIOS?
I tried to do a kind of UEFI boot, but that did not work. Should I try more of that?
I want to try booting with my backup HDD instead of the main, see if that does anything. Does anyone have any information for safely troubleshooting/swapping RAM, I dont think the quantity or quality of my ram is an issue at the moment.
Could it be that there is a compatibility issue with the new gpu and my "chipset" whatever that means?
Please suggest compatibility solutions.
