Hello,
I purchased a Radeon RX 6600 for my system to replace a GTX 1050. When I install the card and boot up the computer, I'm stuck at the start screen. I can press delete to go to BIOS, but it just hangs and never actually gets to BIOS. I installed/reinstalled the GPU several times, and swapped the old GPU back in. The PC starts as it should with the old GPU, but I have the same problem with the 6600 each time.
I have a 550w PSU which should be more than adequate, and and I have the PCIE power plugged into the GPU as it should be. The GPU fans turn on when I start the PC, so I know it has power. I've quadruple checked all connections and I'm sure that's not the issue.
I tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers and trying again, which did not work either.
My PC is a 2017 era Acer Aspire TC-780 desktop, with the acer motherboard.
I've looked and there are several BIOS updates I could do (

), I'm not at my computer right now but I think my BIOS version is R02.A2. Do you think outdated BIOS may be my problem?
I'm just about out of ideas of how to get this card to work, and I thought this might be a good place to post this question. I appreciate any help!
