Now I want to point out I did bios mod this card so I’m not sure if this could cause an issue?

Make sure you’re uninstalling the previous drivers via DDU https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Once fully uninstalled, install the special blockchain drivers mentioned above.

Don’t forget to re-sign the drivers with the Pixel Patcher tool (you should have this from when you did the BIOS mods).

It’s interesting though because the graphics card had power supply to it and the fans were running and the display was off of the graphics card lesson learned
