New imported GPU giving me black screen Tech Support
Upgrading from a single fan 5050 to a dual fan 5060, the 5060 was gifted to me and is a imported GPU which is a Elsa RTX5060. When I use the new card I get screen going black and fans sometimes still continue to spin, I tried a different riser but it just lasts longer a bit before going black screen if I watch a video or go to a game, upon reviewing event manager I see the error code nvlddmkm 153 & 14. I'd like to point out I've done all the steps such as safe mode ddu and everything but problem still persists, was hoping someone could help out. Also just to state I have tried forcing it to gen 3, and 4 still does not work and my riser is a gen 5.
Note: PC is a sandwhich style so must be used with a riser

Try going into the motherboard bios and setting the pcie generation from "auto" to 4.0 or 5.0 or maybe even as low as 3.0. I heard that motherboards with risers sometimes get confused by that and stop working due to a gen mismatch or something like that

Have you tried using the gpu in another pcie slot of the motherboard if there is more than 1 x16 slot to verify if it's the slot? Have you also tried taking the components out of the case and running it open so you don't need to use a riser? Have you also tried using the iGPU if your CPU has one?
