I tried to replace my 7870 xt with a new gigabyte windforce oc gtx 1070 today. I uninstalled all the amd drivers using ddu and turned the pc off. I just swapped the gpus, but when i turn the pc on everything looks normal except that a few seconds after I see the very first screen (Im using win 10 btw) I hear 1 fast beep. The screen stays frozen with the message of pressing esc for startup options (keyboard is non responsive). Then after 8 seconds I hear another fast beep followed by a third long beep. It is at this point that I turn off the pc manually by holding the reset button. I then tried to put back the 7870 xt and it starts booting up as normal.
It cant be the psu because the 7870 xt needs more than the 150w needed for the gtx 1070. Or maybe the gigabyte windforce OC gpu needs more power? My psu is a cx600m from corsair. I know its not gold certified but still should be enough to handle the gtx 1070.
Or maybe I just got a faulty card?
EDIT: Just checked the hp website (I have an hp mbo) and it says that the beeping code I get refers to a videocard unable to initialize or that a videocard is required.
Like I said, I dont know much about psus, but shouldnt a gtx 1070 have no problems if there werent any with a more power hungry radeon 7870 xt? The amd gpu needed 2 6 pin connections, while the gtx needs a single 8 pin one.
