I recently upgraded my PC with an NVIDIA RTX 5070, but now I'm facing a frustrating black screen issue. Here's my setup: an AMD Ryzen 5 2600X CPU, Aorus Elite B450 motherboard, and 32 GB of RAM, powered by a 750w Gold power supply. Everything was running smoothly before, and my previous GPU, a 3060, worked perfectly. However, after installing the 5070 and attempting to add the drivers, the installation fails. I've gone through the hassle of updating the BIOS and even reinstalled Windows three times, trying different driver versions to no avail. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

When does the black screen happen? Is it right after you boot up or after installing the drivers? Knowing that can help pinpoint the issue better. Also, be sure your power supply is adequate for the card—750w should be good, but double-check the connections too!
I hear you—this can be so annoying. The fact that your computer powers off shortly after installing the drivers sounds like a hardware conflict or power delivery issue. Have you tried using the old 3060 without any drivers to see if it's still stable? That might give you a clearer picture of what's going on.
