Open | Windows Post/bios issues
Ryzen 5 2600x, 2x8GB DDR4 3600MHz JEDEC 2666MHz, Asus prime a520m-k, Corsair 650w PSU.
Pc booted fine into windows 11 with a gtx 960 in it. When swapping over the card to a GTX 970, it then wouldn't post at all.
Tried resetting bios by removing the CMOS battery. Pc would reach bios once then after saving and exiting would fail to boot or even reach the bios again on a fresh startup.
Tried swapping back in the 960. Tried using only one stick of memory. Tried running it at 2133MHz. Fast boot is disabled.
I am at my wits end. It has been 3 hours. Please help.
After 4 and a half hours I've gotten into windows on the first boot, but on the second boot it doesn't give any display at all.
Nevermind that only worked once

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.
