RX 5700 on ryzen 3rd gen no signal.

[babodook]

Hey so i was having problems with my CPU pegging 100% and crashing at opening any little program..... couldnt diagnose it long story short ended up upgrading to ryzen 5 3600 and RX 5700 XT coming from a GTX 1070..... I updated the BIOS and Chipset drivers to handle ryzen 3rd gen. Now i cannot get video signal no matter what i do but i can get into BIOS just fine.... trying to boot to windows flashes screen a few times and goes black and no signal. i can enter windows via safe mode, i did the DDU and a clean install of drivers and it was showing in driver manager but still no avail. i tried reuploading windows and it crashed now im stuck......

What happens if you make a linux USB and run ubunutu or Linux Mint off of the USB?

And I'm assuming the graphics card power is all plugged in snugly and it fits tight in the PCI-e slot?

yeah. like i said i can get into safe mode and in the device manager it shows Radeon RX 5700 XT and shows it has the latest drivers...... i even went through and uninstalled and did a clean install and still errors out

If you have your old GPU or a spare one handy, would be worth trying to insert that just to rule out some defect/issue with your 5700 XT.  But the Linux bootable USB is a good option to try as well, or plugging in another drive with windows on it just to see if it runs the VGA ok.

 

Have you tried uninstalling the AMD drivers and just letting windows use the generic display driver?  Does that load ok into normal (not safe mode) windows?

so yes i have my old GPU and i was able to get in no problem...... when i was in safe mode i uninstalled the drivers but wasnt able to download new ones due to security signatures.... i rebooted NOT in safe mode and the windows basic display driver kicked in and i was able to then download the drivers correctly in non safe mode....... i am making a new windows boot drive now since it crashed on me when i tried re load it........i can try the linux bootable usb if it fails again.
