Let me start by saying I got a new graphics card the other day because I thought my current one wasn't working properly.
The old card is a sapphire hd7800 series.
I haven't used this computer for games at all and decided to start playing a couple games, and starting messing with settings and overclocking. During the process, I realized my gpu fans were not spinning. So I thought the card was faulty and went and picked up a xfx rx550 from best buy.
So I get the rx550 installed and the fans still aren't working. So I was able to try a different pci slot and that did the trick.
Updated all the drivers for the rx550 did some overclocking and was playing at 1080/60 on like medium settings. All is good.
So I decide to try and put the 7800 back in since it was the pci port that was bad. So I get it in and am redoing the drivers for it and everything froze up and since then when I boot windows it freezes on the windows logo or will proceed to a black screen and nothing else ever happens.
I can boot with the igpu or with in safe mode. So I put the rx550 back in and it still won't work.
I've completely deinstslled old drivers with and removal tool as well as ddu. I've installed new drivers again and no luck.
I've tried booting with no drivers installed.
I've tried disabling secure boot.
I've changed the enable ulps to zeroes.
I've tried a reset windows which failed and reverted back due to not being able to boot afterwards due to the graphics card.
I've tried literally everything I could think of and what I've read online.
What am I doing wrong?
I don't understand how it was working fine then all of a sudden it never wants to work ever again even with a fresh driver install.
