Build: Ryzen 7 3700X 2x8GBs G.Skill 3200 DRR4 MSI B550 MPG Gaming Plus AM4 600W Power Supply 2TB HDD, 250gb SSD RX 480 to RTX 2060 (issue) Hello everyone, I recently purchased an RTX 2060 graphics card as a replacement for my previous RX 480. I reviewed some tutorials to understand the necessary software updates. I installed the correct drivers for the new GPU and used DDU to remove any existing AMD software. After clearing all old drivers and powering down the system, I reinstalled the GPU with the proper connectors. When I first powered it up, all my peripherals remained unplugged from the back of the case. The fans started, the cooler engaged, and the motherboard lights activated, but the new GPU’s fans didn’t spin. Motherboard DRAM illumination was on, yet nothing appeared on the screen except my RGB mouse pad. I disconnected everything except the mouse, keyboard, HDMI to motherboard, and VGA to GPU, while keeping the Ethernet cable connected. The same problem persisted—no output, no power to input devices. After replacing the old RX 480, the fans still didn’t turn on. TL;DR: New GPU installed but the system remains unresponsive. Any advice would be invaluable. Thank you!

Insert the HDMI into the GPU; since your processor lacks a dedicated graphics chip, the motherboard's HDMI connection won't work here.
