Windows won't boot normally after nvidia GPU install

[Snacks427]

GaminHello everyone, I am having the most odd experience in my tech career. This so happens to be with my personal rig. I just recently went from a RX590 to a GTX 2070 GPU in my rig. I did a fresh install of windows on my m.2 Samsung evo 970 but my OS will not boot unless my 2nd monitor which is my 4k vizio tv is not connected. Once I disconnect my TV which is connected by hdmi from the nvidia GPU, my OS will boot normally. But if I have it connected, it will ask for boot media. Installed all new drivers on everything since it's a fresh install on my ROG strix B450 F gaming mobo. My main monitor is an HP 25x freesync monitor. I use the TV as a secondary monitor for things like FFXIV maps and dealing with that GARBAGE corsair icue software. Weirdest thing I've ever seen.

Since you are changing hardware, did you Clear your CMOS? I can't understate how many times a Clear CMOS has solved issues for me after changing hardware.

Download 417.35 Nvidia driver and replace it with the one installed

The latest 417.71 have some issues.... Due to the FreeSync/Gsync update

This^^. Be aware that you may need to check and make sure your BIOS settings are still correct afterwards.

Additionally, is your main monitor plugged into the Motherboard or the GPU?

Well I rolled back the driver to the .35 version and it works now. Still a little weird that if I have both displays on it will initially show the windows logo on the TV then show the logon on the main display afterwards. My boot seems a little slower since the switch because of this also. But hey everything works now and I want to see what this 2070 FE can do. So far I'd say the adrenaline software for AMD is WAAAYYY better than the nvidia software. Thanks a lot everyone!
