Aurora R7 AMD to Nvidia swap

Aurora R7 with AMD RX 580 and I7 8700

So I just got this today and I have a 1070 Ti at home that I planned on switching with the 580.

I uninstalled the AMD drivers with DDU but when I install my 1070 the computer will not even boot (no post/no alienware logo) but as soon as I switch back to the RX everything works fine. 

The 1070 is working fine in my old computer.

Whats going on?

    I fixed it. It was because of Safe Boot in the Bios. It was preventing my EVGA from booting.

    Thanks!!

    Well, I would have used AMD's own Express Uninstall, rebooted, and then run DDU to clean-up, but other than that, sounds ok.

     

    Try removing all video cards and use Intel IGP in 8700. Does it boot? Is MB still good?
