Problems with windows black screening

I just built a PC Ryzen 2700x B450 tomahawk motherboard and a ROG Strix 2070. Everything went smoothly until after I installed windows, I went through the setup process then system black screened. I restarted it only to be greeted by it black screening again right as windows finishes loading. I was able to get into the desktop but only after disable i disabled the graphics card. I uninstalled the drivers then tried to reinstall them but after the drivers finished installing it instantly black screened. I think that this is driver related but since I am not experienced in troubleshooting hardware or software I was hoping that the techiest forum I know of could offer some help. I have a Corsair RM750x PSU so I don’t think that is the problem.

Can you make sure you go to BIOS and set as optimized defaults or default settings.  However Im assuming you haven't done any OCing right ?

I haven’t done any overclocking like I said it is brand new and I just installed windows everything should be set to default. But I will check when I get home

Your PSU is good quality one, I doubt that is the problem.  Perhaps you can try putting in your video card into another PCIe 16x slot and let us know.

What @Turtle Rig says...

Usually the graphics driver enables hardware acceleration when it's loaded.

So you can try running Windows in safe mode, so it doesn't load the graphics drivers to uninstall said driver and try to find a newer one, look up current version and see if there are other people with your gpu that have this problem. If that doesn't show up and updating the driver didn't work, you can see if it maybe is trying to display something that isn't supported by your monitor as input format (res/hz) if all fails, RMA your GPU.

I tried that during my earlier troubleshooting and it gave me the exact same result black screen it’s not no signal it’s a black screen with no options and no cursor
