No signal from Rx 470 after installing drivers

I installed my new RX 470 graphics card today and was able to receive signal to the monitor when I first plugged it in. I ran the AMD program that automatically detects your card and system (its name escapes me) and had it install the drivers for me. After it had finished, it said it was successful and it needed to restart. After the restart I have no signal to the desktop, but based on the start up sounds I am hearing it sounds like it was able to start up at least.

The monitor is definitely plugged into the card. For the longest time, I received no signal without having installed any drivers. I discovered this was because the Windows Default Display Adapter needed to be disabled, which then allowed me to get signal from the card.

Any ideas?

Edit 1: I tried it with a different monitor, still no signal
Edit 2: I put my old graphics card back in, so I could enable the integrated graphics HDMI port and uninstall the AMD drivers. When I did so and I booted up, it scanned and repaired my C drive.
Edit 3: After completing repairs, it said it did not start correctly. I am system restoring to two days prior, before I DDU'd my NVIDIA drivers.
Edit 4: I put my old card back in, uninstalled the NVIDIA and AMD drivers once again. NO SIGNAL still when I plug in new card. Absolutely nothing. Its really starting to piss me off. Is my card broken?
 
Solution
If you can't get a display even at boot (before it loads the OS), I would suspect the card itself is the problem. Considering you got a display initially proves the system is compatible with the card.

Maybe you described above that you already did this, but I would try the new card in another machine if possible.
