No display in Windows

[LollerManiac]

Alright so I have a MSI B450-A Pro motherboard and a PNY GTX 460. I bought the 460 refurbished because I just needed a graphics output and I’ve had problems with it. Now the problem is that I can boot into bios or windows recovery just fine, but when I try to boot into Windows 10 the screen goes black and says no input detected. It boots into Windows after a drive wipe and a fresh install of windows, but then after maybe 5 minutes in Windows there’s a black screen and no input detected and it refuses to work again until I do another fresh install. I have tried to boot into safe mode, it worked once, a few times it asked me for my password but said it was wrong. Now if I try to boot into safe mode I get the same no input detected. I used to have windows 11 on the computer and the same thing happened. Any help would be appreciated.

Nope, no updates. I figured it was just a bad gpu but I thought I might as well see if anybody has any long shots lol.

Do you have or can you borrow another gpu to test?

The system used to have a different GPU in it and it worked perfectly fine

Then the refurb 460 is a dud in my opinion..
