Can anyone help with this? I have a new GPU but when I installed it, there's no signal to the monitor. The last owner already tested it and it worked fine, the cable and adapter are fine. The GPU even spins when installed.

@MK2boogaloo maybe you need to switch something around in the bios
@MK2boogaloo you might need to switch the video output to the gpu, at least for during boot. do you have on board gpu? if yes, you might connect to that, boot and then look around if the new card is detected?
@bonifartius well I can't really get into BIOS in the first place.
@professionalbigot69 @bonifartius tbh fam it's way better than Windows discounting games.
@MK2boogaloo @bonifartius just stick with normal distro
@sapphire @professionalbigot69 @bonifartius true, still don't know how to properly wield it but I'm doing fine. Only having this as the massive issue after 6 months of using it.
@MK2boogaloo @professionalbigot69 @bonifartius oh it’s an AMD card on Linux isn’t it? Their drivers are dogshit last I heard
@sapphire @professionalbigot69 @bonifartius yeah, RX 560. But my old GPU is also AMD card, HD 6670. Works fine man.
@MK2boogaloo @professionalbigot69 @bonifartius old cards have more stable drivers. My guess is you’re booting on the onboard video and then arch can’t handle the new card
@MK2boogaloo @professionalbigot69 @bonifartius put your old GPU in and install the new AMD drivers, then swap
I'm using Arch so it might be driver related issue?
