I just tried to install a XFX Merc 6950XT, but PC won't boot.
PC is new just built around Christmas.
MSI X670 Carbon
7950X CPU
Corsair RM1000x PSU
I tried the following steps so far:
Also: This 6950xt is large compared to the 980ti. I don't know how to remove it properly. I have always pushed on the plastic tab at the end of the slot, but this card is so big that this was not possible. So I broke that tab off after removing the card the first time. How are you supposed to do this properly?

I tried the following steps so far:
- Reset CMOS via the button
- Reseat GPU several times
- Plug DP cable into motherboard with GPU still installed
- Remove GPU with DP cable still plugged into motherboard
- PC then booted normally
- Installed AMD driver
- Reinstalled GPU
- Still won't boot
- Removed again and booted via CPU graphics
- Uninstalled Nvidia driver
- Reinstalled GPU
- Still won't boot
- Removed GPU and reinstalled my trusty EVGA 980ti
