Bought a new GPU and now PC won't boot Anonymous 2017-04-10 07:22:33 Post No. 294839 [Report]

I bought an EVGA GTX 1060 because my R9 290 kept crashing when I played games. I uninstalled drivers with DDU but now when the 1060 is installed, the PC doesn't make it past the BIOS screen. Also, the screen is off-center when the GTX 1060 is installed and the PC makes a short beeping sound. How can I fix this?

Specs are:
Acer Aspire M3450 pre-built
AMD FX-6300
850W PSU
10GB RAM

looks like the problem wasnt the graphics card, start taking out stuf and testing things one by one: ram, hdd, etc.

Plug the power connectors in properly.

If it won't get past the BIOS, it's a hardware problem.

The PC works perfectly fine if I have my other GPUs installed. It's just when the 1060 is installed the PC freezes on the BIOS splash screen. If it's a hardware problem, wouldn't this happen with the other GPUs?

I guess, if GPUs were made of software.

After some digging I found out Acer desktops are actually just too old to use anything from Nvidia GTX 700 series and later. I guess I'll just return the card for an RX 480. Hopefully it won't have issues crashing when I play videogames.
