After installing new gpu, computer refuses to turn on

[pjr8]

Hello! This is my first time posting here, and i couldn't find the answer googling, etc. so I thought I'd ask here.

 

I currently have a AMD RX 480 8gb, and I got a zotac gtx 1060 mini from my friend, and when I tried installing it, the computer would not even start, even though all the power cables, etc. have been set up and putting the 480 back in it starts perfectly. I have a ASUS H110M-A motherboard, I'm not sure if it's a compatibility, or not. If anyone could help, thanks!

It is compatible so there should be no problem. Did you uninstall drivers with ddu when switching cards? If not i recommend that you boot into safe mode and uninstall nvidia drivers with ddu and after that switch the cards.

I had uninstalled using the AMD program that removes all traces of drives, but should I instead uninstall the drives with ddu then?

Also, I am changing from AMD to NVidia, not Nvidia to AMD

Ye, try it with ddu instead. There could be some leftovers.

Yes, he gave me it as his pc wasn't usable, and i contacted him already and he reassured it wasn't the problem in his

Try using the dedicated graphics.

Your CPU's own graphics.

It is a terrible so called fire-hazard psu btw. But it should still work. Have you tried uninstalling with ddu?

 

Why was not his pc usable? I hope not because of graphics card.

The graphics card wasn’t the problem, although I never asked what the actual problem was

It is called integrated. Dedicated ones are 1050,1060 etc.

Try different connectors

I just tried it again, and as soon as I put the card in, the pc refuses to turn on. The picture I provided is with the card in there, not screwed in cause I’m testing it, but it just won’t work

Fans wont even spin or you cant boot into wondows? You should clean your pc. Btw zotac 1060 mini is really shitty card. Probably one of the worst performing 1060s on the market. It is more like sidegrade from your 480. 

 

EDIT: are u sure u are connecting the right cable form the psu or the right side? They usually have those little clips to prevent them from disconnecting I do not see one on yours.

[Jay Deah]

are you sure that power cable is plugged in the right way round?

 

it shouldn’t fit in the wrong way round so may be a dumb question but I can’t see the clip.

 

also try it without the power plugged in. It should boot with a black screen with white text saying ‘ok stupid, you forgot to plug in the power cable’ at least if you see that you know the card is alive

[Jay Deah]

I’ve just checked some pictures on google, thenpower is the wrong way round!

 

the yellow +12v cables should be on the fan side and the black GND cables should be near he back of the card.

 

how on earth you managed to fit that in I don’t know.

It works now, I feel really dumb but thanks everyone for the help!
