Windows 10 1903 - always crash on first boot on login screen with new

did I remove the old graphics driver before inserting a new graphics card?

nope. So maybe i must do this when on future i will swap card then.

Yes, absolutely.

The standard procedure for installing a new graphics card is to completely uninstall the graphics drivers from the system, shut down, make the switch, then startup, let the system settle in, then install the most current graphics driver for the new card fresh.

It does not matter if you are using the same BRAND graphics driver. If you are switching a GTX1080 for a GTX 2080 you still need to uninstall and reinstall the driver.

If you are switching BRANDS of graphics card then in addition to the above procedure it is important to completely clean the system of the old drivers. There are programs like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) that will do this chore automatically from Windows Safe Mode.

But you can get many odd glitches if you are not working with fresh, clean drivers for any new card.

First i swapped from 2080 Ti Xtreme Aorus ( with 3 fans ) to 2080 Ti Waterforce Xtreme and i had that display crash on login screen.
Last time i just swapped from the same card to the same. I mean 2080 Ti Waterforce Xtreme, to other 2080 Ti Waterforce Xtreme. And had display crash on initial boot on login screen ( 1 boot ).

Anyway clean driver install before swapping card ( even if they are same ) is recommended?

Yes. It doesn't take that long and can avoid a many head scratching glitches.
To you the cards are the same, to the system the numbers are different so the cards are different.

Don't overlook a bad GPU as well. I had one that was glitchy cutting in and out and also acting like it had bad drivers, yes that bad and this caused a constant buggy slow operation and followed by a blue screen of death crash and reboot over and over including going to NVidia website for all drivers as a process of elimination including MSI for their drivers because it's an MSI GPU with NVidia chipset. When I exhausted all possibilities in process of elimination and banging my head against the wall including pulling what little hair I have left, I gave the GPU a fling in the bin and installed a new card, now with a stable Win10 install. If you have the correct drivers directly from the manufacturer and properly installed and it still won't work, swap it out with something else even if you have to borrow from a friend and give this a try. If the system now works like it should take a look at the card. Try it in another computer as well if you got on hand like I do.
