I just recently purchased an R7 240 used. When I install it into my computer my windows will not boot. or if it does boot which is very rare mainly right after installing windows. It goes to a black screen like it is sleeping but i cannot get anything back. It boots in safe mode but obviously i cant go online or anything in safe mode. When i reinstall my old graphics card everything works properly (Asus 8600 GT). If anyone has some suggestions or fixes please let me know thank you all in advance.

you have to uninstall the gpu driver for the old gpu first

I never installed a driver I do not believe how could I find and delete the driver if I have it installed

It's kinda too late, but I thought I'd bring this up lol. (Also if you got it super cheap used then the entire argument isn't as big of a deal.)

Exactly, its fine for super cheap, I'd just thought it was funny as this was the first time I'd actually seen someone buy one on this forum.

Try wiping your hdd/ssd so there are no remaining drivers left .

I deleted the old gpu drivers and tried booting with the new gpu. The same thing happened. So I booted into safe mode and went into devices and found the gpu. Under device status it says "this device is not working properly because windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

The driver was not loaded because the system is booting into safe mode."

Any suggestions on what I should do next?
