Hello all,
I'm attempting to install a EVGA GTX 1060 to replace my onboard graphics, but I'm having trouble. When I install the graphics card into the one PCIe x16 slot, the computer fails to load even the BIOS--I get a single beep and a black screen. When I remove the card, the computer boots up just fine.
I recently replaced my 300W PSU with a 500W, which is supposed to be plenty of power for the 1060 (400W recommended), so I don't think that's the problem. And yes, I am plugging the card into the PSU when I install.
I haven't installed the drivers yet, nor disabled the onboard drivers. The user guide for the 1060 says that I might have to disable the onboard graphics drivers, but I wasn't sure how to do this, or whether that's a wise option.
After browsing the internet, it looks like people in similar situations have been advised to update the motherboard drivers. I haven't been able to find any driver updates for my motherboard, however. There were some BIOS updates available, however--is this the same thing?
Any tips?
Computer specs:
Intel Core i7 6700
8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3
Motherboard: Acer Aspire TC-710 (U3E1)
Intel HD Graphics 530
Samsung SSD 750 EVO 500GB (SSD)
