Your friend asked you to check his GPU after it suddenly stopped working. You installed it and it functioned until driver installation caused issues. The screen went black during installation, and the computer restarted without booting into Windows. You've tried different GPUs, driver versions like Crimson and Adrenaline, and even considered flashing the BIOS, but the card isn't recognized. What should you do next?

Welcome to the forms, newcomer!
I installed the gpu in my system and it worked until I tried installing drivers.
I'm assuming you're on Windows OS. If so, you might want to open up Device Manager and see if the GPU is flagged with a yellow exclamation mark while with GPU-Z, see if there are any fields with zero(0)'s showing up.
One thing we do ask, is for the specs to your build and your friends. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
