Black screen following GPU changeover - Ryzen 5 1600
Hey! I’ve tried some used hardware and tested the graphics card on my own machine. I replaced the GTX 1070 with an RX 570 and installed the drivers, but on another PC I couldn’t do that for a reason. Once it worked fine there, I turned it off and switched back to the GTX 1070. After that, Windows wouldn’t boot at all, so I restarted and it tried to fix itself automatically. It crashed after 23% and then shut down completely. Even when I connected the HDD and plugged in a different PCI slot, nothing changed. The PC also didn’t recognize the motherboard or CPU. I’m pretty sure something is wrong with the board or CPU—this is really strange. My system seems to have stopped working entirely. I need help figuring this out before it’s too late.
I’ve taken apart the setup and tried everything. Changing the PSU fixed it, so I thought it was dead. After testing on another PC, it worked again. Now I put a “broken” PSU in, and it’s fine. Still confused about what happened. Really frustrated.
