I was told a RTX 3060 GPU would work but having installed it I just get a blank screen. It fires up and lights up but thats about it, I've tried it in another PC and it works in that, slightly better specs than mine but not much. Any ideas, failing having to buy a new PC i could try upgrading my card to one that would work, I think mine is beginning to fail. Many thanks in advance My PC windows 10 MB Manufacturer Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd.

As @Timmah! stated your onboard graphics should have kicked in. Unplug the card and see if you motherboard graphics works works. you may have some NVIDEA drivers screwed up from your earlier attempt. Look for them them and uninstall them if need be. Then reinstall the card and try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Program will block windows from installing drivers after uninstall and shut down the pc after uninstall. You can restart and install Nvidia drivers clean.

Yup, the Nvidea download tool does a system sweep then tells me i have no Nvidea card installed so won't download the drivers. I think I'll just have to resign myself to the fact that my system comes up as 'woeful' for gaming and unless I find a better GPU for my system will have to wait until I have the funds for new components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no display at BIOS --> Since the 3060 worked in another system, it's likely a BIOS issue. Reinstall the 3060, clear CMOS, power on, and should be good to go!

If all the connections to card to the monitor are the same you should be able to boot to the BIOS a no drivers are needed. If you can't it could be a bad card or the monitor input selector is on the wrong setting. Bloodrunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

EG. if done wrong firmware used will get a blank screen or i/o functions not working due to wrong instruction. Edited May 24 by KaptCrunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
