I recently installed a new GPU (ASUS PRIME AMD 9060XT 16GB) in my PC, but when I boot it up, I hear one long beep followed by three short beeps. This beep pattern suggests there's an issue with the GPU. However, when I switch back to my old GPU (ASUS DUAL 1660 Super OC), everything works perfectly. Here are my PC specs: ASUS Prime H610M-E D4 motherboard, Intel i5 12400f CPU, and 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz RAM. I found out later that my BIOS was outdated, and after updating it to the latest version, the problem was resolved.

If it's brand new, I’d recommend returning it for a replacement right away. Stores have a DOA (dead on arrival) policy for situations like this, so they should test it out for you.
I had a similar problem once where the beeping turned out to be because my PSU wasn't powerful enough. I had to upgrade my power supply, and that fixed the issue for me.
Try using the old 1660 Super to perform a DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in safe mode first. Don't install any new drivers before you swap back to the 9060XT, then install the Adrenaline software and required drivers after that.
It's beeping at POST, so Windows drivers shouldn't even be a factor here!
Updating my BIOS fixed a similar issue for me too. It's definitely worth checking that if you haven't already.
I tried that, but it still beeped the same way. Looks like it might be a hardware issue, possibly with the motherboard or GPU. I might need to get the GPU tested on another rig.
