Installed new gpu and it doesn’t boot into Windows, but it can enter BIOS.
The installation process has been completed, but the system won’t boot into Windows. However, entering BIOS with repeated F2 key presses works. I removed the previous drivers using DDU before installing the new GPU. The motherboard is an Asrock Z370 Gaming ITX. When I powered on the computer connected to the new GPU, it remained black. Checking the BIOS settings shows it boots correctly now. I tried re-seating the GPU and verified the power cables, but nothing resolved the issue. My system runs an Intel Core i5 8600K with an EVGA Novastar Gold 550w PSU. Could be the power supply is insufficient? Please advise!
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
EVGA Novastar gold 550w psu is what I was expecting.
I’m using an Intel core i5 8600k with an EVGA Novastar gold 550w psu.
A good setup includes more than just a processor and power supply. Here’s the information you should provide for your build:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Please also mention the age of the PSU, along with its make and model.
BIOS version for your motherboard at this time.
Which motherboard model are you referring to? Is it a Gigabyte model? Also, please disable secure boot.
A 550W PSU for an 9060XT should work fine. It seems the problem might be related to BIOS, possibly trying to switch back to integrated graphics. Review your BIOS settings to assign your GPU, or share your motherboard details.
nvidia gpu drivers might not be completely removed, even after using duu. I faced a similar problem years ago and had to reinstall windows. You might consider updating your bios to the newest version, as 3060s had issues with 1151. If you're using an older bios update, that's likely the reason.
