I upgraded my graphics card from gtx 770 to gtx 1060 and when I boot my computer I get a red screen with no text on it just a symbol that looks like a tree

I tried putting my old graphics card back and I got the same result, I might have made a mistake because I didn't remove my old gpu drivers before I put in the new gpu.
Note: I haven't even got to the windows loading screen
 
Solution
first, try to remove the motherboard cmos(battery), remove the power plug and all cables connected and press the power for about 10s, then use the motherboard output, go to safe mode, remove the old drivers and restart, now keep the output on the mb, then if its fine turn it off and switch to gpu output, see where that'll take us

OK: Do the following.

1st: Check if your GTX 1060 Is plugged Correctly. Check the PCI-E slots, The HDMI/DVI Or whatever you using connectors.
2nd: Enter your Bios, Then check your card is recognized.
3erd: Do a boot failure start up
4rd: Completly erase Old drivers and then reboot
5th: Tell me what happend :)

IF all this fails, Then... Exchange possitions with other PCI-E Slot and disable the previous Slot in your Bios
