Hey everyone! I recently upgraded my graphics card from a 4060 ti to a Sapphire 9070 XT, but I'm running into some significant problems. Here's a quick rundown of my build: Intel 12600KF for the CPU, a Gigabyte Z790S WiFi DDR4 motherboard, 32GB of RAM, and an 850W power supply. Ever since I switched cards, my PC has been freezing and showing green screens while playing games like Fortnite and experiencing issues while streaming on Discord. I also noticed that the VGA light turns on when I boot up my PC. I've tried rolling back my drivers, adjusting the PCI settings in the BIOS from auto to gen 4, and even sent my PC for diagnostics at a local shop. Any suggestions on how I can resolve these issues would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried reinstalling Windows and updating your motherboard’s BIOS? Sometimes that can help with these kinds of issues if they persist.
Did you do a DDU when you switched GPUs? It’s especially important when moving from Nvidia to AMD.
I made sure to do that the first day with safe mode, so I thought I was covered.
You might want to run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) a couple of times. I had a similar issue when switching from a 3070 to a 7900 XT a couple of years back, and it worked for me.
Definitely use DDU to completely remove those old RTX 4060 ti drivers and do a clean install of the new RX 9070 XT drivers.
For the BIOS, it seems to be the latest version, and the local shop did a fresh install of Windows 11 when I sent it in.
