So I sold my old Amd R9 390 and bought a gtx 1070 and I've never switched cards out on a build before. I put the new card in the mob shows it's normal screen where you can choose to go into bios or just let it pass and it'll load up like it's about to go to the start window, except it doesn't do anything after that. It just sits on a black screen. I've tried going into the bios and it just has this repair and reset pc and like a few other options. What do I do?

Take the card off the motherboard and try booting with that instead. Should get it running, then uninstall the amd driver, shutdown, install 1070, reboot, install 1070 driver...profit?

I plugged my other monitor into the mob and it finally worked. I thought about iGPU before but for some reason it never would display. I knew they were on because I had used them before. It just worked this time oddly enough and I got everything situated. Thank you all you guys haha. I was getting a little worried there for a minute.
