Okay, so I recently upgraded my PC. I just installed a new GPU and had it up and running great. I complained to a friend that it was running slower but looking great and he told me I had to uninstall the old GPU drivers and then reinstall the new ones. I uninstalled the new and old an now I have a black screen, can't even see bios. I've seen a few recommendations to remove a battery but I don't see one. Now what? I've tried all video ports in back with my HDMI cable. Well it's a DVI to HDMI but yeah. How do I install drivers when I can't see?

Edit: All relavent info was on this thread, where I first asked about the upgrade.

This problem as you might know can acure when you dont have drivers, but you can allways try to use a pure VGA or DVI cable if you have one, becuse those you dont need any drivers for, from what i have expiranced myself.

put the video cable on the onboard mb video port and turn the pc on. if you dont get any bios screen turn the pc off and pull the gpu see if onboard video comes back. if it does update the onboard and mb chipset drivers then reinstall the gpu if the gpu works then. go into the bios set the gpu as peg/pci under primany display and turn off onboard video. then move the gpu cale to onboard video. if the issue comes back check to see if the mb has any bios updates.

I do not have either of those. A pure HDMI also did not work but I assume that was to be expected. I'll have to buy another cable tomorrow and hope that works.

Tried pulling the GPU already. No luck.

Edit: Fixed it. Apparently the GPU was slightly (very slightly) crooked due to a bad interface with the case. I'll need a new case now. :/

if you built the pc the issue the the mb is not straight in the case. with the power off and unplugged. losen the mb screws slightly and straiten out the mb in the case. make sure the back of the mb and the space to the case is the same.

I suppose the mb could be the problem, but I didn't build the PC. The case has a weird clip that gets in the way of the GPU. The stock case is really just a piece of garbage. :/

Nah, my latest problem appears to be cooling. HWMonitor threw up a temp of 80c for the CPU. Of course, speed fan says it only hits 60c max, so that's a thing. And I had them running simultaneously.
