What the fucking fuck is wrong with it? My only thought is static electricity got to some part of the motherboard but I'm an idiot so who knows. I googled this shit and tried things and got nothing.

Hard drive is bad
i would bet your power supply hit the bucket
You forgot to plug in the 4 pin connector on the side of the card maybe?
>>54730774
Literally bought a new one this morning and plugged it in.

That's my second thought. My brother thinks it is just the CMAS battery because as soon as it starts loading the windows settings it freezes.
>>54730801
You mean the 6 pin power connector? The computer wouldn't even display anything if it wasn't m8
Boot in a linux from a pen drive.
It usually excludes software problems.
If it works, time for a clean install.
>>54730845
Noted.
On a side note, whatever happened to the Steam OS Valve was working on? Is that shit or not? I may be willing to try it if I'm clean installing anyway
>>54730708
if u can get into bios then there's nothing wrong with your hardware. backup ur shit and reinstall ur os
>>54730805

Depending on how long you've had your old board, you may have broken old solder when you installed the new card.
