No Video and Endless Boot Loop on Ryzen 2700x, Gigabyte x470, GTX1060

[ShredAgain]

Okay, so I just finished my system upgrade to Ryzen+ and I've been playing around with my system for a couple hours. I decided to run a couple benchmarks and do some "gentle" overclocking on my 1060 6gb. I had it running well with 120% extra power limit at +150 core, +300 memory. And then I got cocky. I set it to +200 core, +350 memory, and started up Unigine Valley, only for it to instantaneously crash. So now my system won't post, and I have no video, as well as a VGA error light on. I have already attempted the following in troubleshooting:

Hard reset by holding power button, turning off power supply, unplugging cable from PSU, and holding power button again to drain the pent up electricity.

Clear CMOS by shorting CMOS header.

Clear CMOS by removing CMOS battery. Forgot to check for a CMOS battery charge.

Clear CMOS by doing both aforementioned methods at the same time.

Removed and reseated GPU.

Removed and reseated GPU in 8x slot instead of x16 slot.

Placed GPU in another system where it booted without problem and immediately started displaying 4k.

I seem to remember having a problem with this GPU in the past not liking ErP, which is turned on in the BIOS right now, but I can't get a post or picture in order to shut it off. Please help! I can't use my system I just spent 520 bucks upgrading.

Stupid question, is your video out plugged in to the board or the GPU?

No stupid questions here. It's plugged into DP on the GPU. Also I feel it important to mention that it isn't booting into Windows. Just power cycling over and over.

Idk ive seen some 

 

Anyhow, it sounds like a bios issue not a GPU issue, i would suggest checking the CPU is seated correctly, also that all power connectors are pushed in all the way. Have you tried different sticks of RAM at a time. Could be an memory issue, i know mine went in to a boot cycle when i set a bad memory overclock. After this is would try a different GPU in the system just to be sure that its not that. It may be worth trying no GPU, i know you will have no video out but you will at the least be able to test if its the GPU causing the boot cycle as it will start and stop.

It was GPU. Don't know how, but I fried the DisplayPort controller on the card and had to RMA it. I chalk it up to the age, the use, and the fact that I had also overclocked the monitor's refresh rate.

Well thats an odd one, i have no idea if OCing a monitor can do that but interesting to know.
