Replaced my Radeon 6790 with GTX 1070 on my MSI 970a-g45 motherboard (850w PSU) and it won't post anything and won't even go to BIOS. Cleared CMOS, and plugged/unplugged Hard Drives and everything else with no luck. Finally put 6790 back in and it posted - but 6790 is broken/won't display screen past startup. Called EVGA and they said my motherboard was a few years old and might not be compatiable with 1070, but I could try updating BIOS and see if it worked, if not I would need new motherboard. Now can't update BIOS because of broken old gpu to see if that's the issue.
Anyone have any ideas on the issue? Or a solution besides borrowing someone's gpu or buying a new motherboard ?
