Currently installing new GPU, need some help

[Xiauj]

Hi all, I'm currently installing my new GPU which is a EVGA GTX 1080 Superclocked 2 with ICX Cooling and am removing my GTX 650 Ti and so far, I've uninstalled it and have installed the GTX 1080 and thankfully, I got to my desktop and tested a couple of things like going to YouTube . com and Google etc..,; and I went to open my Task Manager to see if the GPU shows up or not, it didn't, so I went to open NVIDIA Control Panel and for some reason my screen went black and I don't know why. One thing I did realize whilst uninstalling my GTX 650 Ti and swapping the cables etc.. was that I forgot to uninstall the GPU-Drivers before uninstalling the GTX 650 Ti, was I meant to do so?

 

At the moment, when I start up the PC, it starts up fine and gets to the Aorus screen with the Aorus logo and a loading icon but then it just goes black and I don't know why. If anyone could help me I would seriously appreciate it ASAP =)

 

Thanks

Take EVERYTHING apart and restart.

Try another PCIe port on mobo, uninstall all display drivers with display driver unnistall on safe mode and install latest drivers, if possible. And clear cmos.

Windows will try to install the device driver, in the mean time, it will use a generic video device driver. once it attempts t install the driver, the screen will go black as the device must be restarted.

When does this occurs? on the desktop, when booting?

When I press the power-button, it starts up fine as explained -^ but then it goes black.

 

 

@Noobie22 @knightslugger I'm thinking it could be the drivers that I forgot to uninstall, could that be a possible cause?

Do I boot into Safe-Mode via the BIOS or ..?  I can't remember how to do it lol, haven't done so in ages.

well if you were using old drivers, it certainly could be. put the old GPU back in, run a DDU cleaner (be sure to choose disable driver download), download the current drivers from Nvidia and reinstall (after a restart, of course)

Ok, what I might do tomorrow then because it's getting a bit late here lol  is this (below):

Is this correct?:

 

Take out the GTX 1080

Put the GTX 650 Ti back in

Hope that it gets to the desktop

Try to download and run DDU to remove the GPU-Drivers and I'll make sure to disable the Latest Driver Download option

Download and Install the latest GeForce Drivers for the GTX 1080 from geforce . co.uk

Turn off the PC and put in the GTX 1080

Hope that it gets to the Desktop?

Try plugging your HDMI cable into your Mobo's port, with no GPU. Then uninstall all drivers and reinstall. 

This only works if you have an Intel cpu.

I have a Ryzen CPU which I think don't have integrated-graphics

Nope, they don't. Nevermind then.

Alright, looks like I managed to fix it finally !

There was a tiny issue with the GPU-Drivers but it's done now.
