No picture graphics card?

I bought a new graphics card but then I only noticed that it needed 450W. So I connected my old one, but then the fan turned on and I didn't get a picture. And then I had reconnected them. It went well at first, but then I tested fortnite and there were Fps dropps. Then I took the old one again and the fans just turned on. Btw I had done a bios update eig is nothing kapput but if I turn on the pc without a graphics card, everything goes great, I have already reset windows, what can I do? Parts: Ryzen 3 3200G Graka: Msi GTX 760 Mainboard: Asus Prime A320M-K Power supply: Xilence 400W

Re

Possibly something went wrong with the BIOS update.

Are the graphics card fans cranking?

From the gtx 760 yes but the asus strix Radeon RX570 turns nothing

This is very difficult to interpret / understand from a distance.

How trained is your handling of hardware? It is quite possible that damage has occurred on your part.
Have the additional power supply cables of the graphics card been connected and are they (with a modular power supply unit) firmly attached at both ends?
Were you electrostatically grounded when you were working on the hardware? This is the number one cause of damage - it is often forgotten.
BIOS / UEFI updates are not without and should not be carried out without further knowledge. Serious problems can arise, but every manufacturer warns of this during the update process.
And the most important question: Have you installed the driver for the respective graphics card correctly? Often residues of the driver of the previous graphics card remain on the computer. Both Nvidia and AMD offer cleaning tools here. Residues from the driver of the old graphics card can cause frame drops in the new graphics card.
As you have noticed yourself, the power supply of your power supply unit is not sufficient. Frame tops can of course also result from this.
As long as one graphics card is running halfway, you can assume that the other one is defective. A loose connection at the PCI slot could still be the cause, but I think it is unlikely in several tests.

I have added a few points to the answer above.
Your body can be electrically charged due to different influences. As soon as you have the hardware - e.g. The graphics card - when touched, these currents can discharge. Then the whole thing is just scrap metal. It can - but does not have to happen. It always depends on whether you were electrically charged or not - but moist, hot air would favor it.

The fans of the gtx 760 turn super fast that is so loud but then i don't get a hdmi picture at all i need my pc to work and i can't get a new one at the moment

Bl

Ohh no man i understand that ned i get a shock from my keyboard from my heater from my my pc i touched the heater with my legs and at the same time my pc then i got a shock from my pc and from the heater

Re

The electric shock is a discharge of your body. Wouldn't be good if you had discharged yourself on the PC.

As goldmensch409 said, this would not be an advantage, as it can of course damage several parts (including the mainboard). Search times on Amazon for "antistatic grounding bracelet" or for "grounding mat". Before you screw up your computer the next time, you should definitely order one of them - it is often cheaper than the damage. The earthing bracelets must also be connected at one end to a metallic and above all earthed part.

Can I throw away the computer now or just the graphics card

Ma

Not at first, if I understand it correctly, the computer basically "runs" with the new graphics card. I advise against overloading the power supply too much.

What you should do:

Immediately buy a stronger power supply + grounding bracelet or grounding mat
install new power supply + the new graphics card in the computer
Carry out driver cleaning from Nvidia and / or AMD
Install the appropriate driver for the graphics card
test whether the frame drops have subsided

Both graphics cards are no longer the new one shows no picture and the fans turn ned and the old one overrides the fan
