i have a 760 graphics card that i've upgraded to a 1060. first time i did it it worked fine and i could play on it. then i changed back to the 760 to try it and see the difference between the cards. but then i tried to install the 1060 again, but this time it didnt work. i cant get past the boot screen. i can get in to the BIOS without any problems. and if i put the 760 in it boot fine and i can use it.

Upgrade GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060
Motherboard: Asus b85-pro gamer
Processor: Intel i% 4690k

Sounds like you've got it worked out. For anyone else out there, it pays to fully remove the old drivers before installing a new card, usually with a program like DDU. It's best done BEFORE removing the old card, but if this isn't possible, then put the new card in and hopefully it runs, then remove old drivers. If you can't get past the BIOS, then use that to boot into safe mode and then remove old drivers from there.

If you have integrated graphics (like the i5), you can always remove the graphics card and use integrated to boot into and remove old drivers.

You can try unplugging everything but your display and power cable. Sometimes other devices interfere with the bootup. I'm not an expert on this so if this doesn't work someone else might be able to help you
