These are my current specs:
Ryzen 5 1600
MSI B350 Tomahawk
Corsair LPX 2x4 GB 2666
Zotac Geforce GTX 1080 AMP
Deepcool Kendomen Case with 5 120 mm fans
EVGA 500B, 500W 80+ Bronze PSU
I tried to upgrade my graphics card from r7 370 to Gtx 1080 and my system does not post with the GTX 1080. My monitor detects that its plugged into something, the greenlight on my card indicating that its being powered is on, the LEDs on the card are on and the fans are spinning. My monitor just stays as a black screen.
When I put my r7 370 back in, everything is fine. I used DDU and it said that I had nvidia and amd drivers installed on my computer, and DDU detects the 1080 (even when I don't have it plugged in). In device manager, I disabled the amd drivers, then unistalled then I used DDU and shutdown my computer. Put the 1080 back in, didn't do anything. Tried unplugging all my case fans, didn't do anything.
Tried plugging in DVI into motherboard, doesn't even detect it. (guess that makes sense due to Ryzen). And yes I've had the monitor plugged into the GPU everytime I've tested.
My friend thinks that it is a power supply problem, but isn't 500W enough to power the 1080? This system shouldn't be using more than 350-400W, no? If so, I'll just buy a new PSU, np. But what if that is not the problem, and it is a problem with my card?
I bought this 1080 secondhand, claimed to have never been used. There is no warranty.
Please help! I can't do much about this purchase, I need to get it to work.
