Just setting my girls up a pc using.my old parts

2700, 16gb 2666 , x470 tuf and an old 7870 I had lying around which would have been ample for fortnite and mine craft etc

Everything boots fine and only when I go to install TN adrenaline driver does the screen go black never to come on again upon reboot it just goes into a reboot cycle unless I go into safe mode and remove the driver. I'm going to assume it's dead? Would anyone with an amd card assume this also to be the case as I've only ever had non booting dead cards. If so would a 1050 offer similar performance if I was to grab one
 
As above, try a different driver suite.

I had the same symptoms on an old 5770 when I tried to install drivers that were too ‘modern’ for it.
