So i got lucky and was able to snag a radeon 7970 for about 200 this black friday! Problem is that when i tried to install it on my aseus P8P.. LE the mother board kept giving me a video card issue. When i booted up the computer the fans worked fine for all components so i doubt its my PSU (which is 520 W) but the motherboard still gave me a GPU error. I have no idea why though, all i did was hook up my radeon to a GPU slot, i tried both slots, put in 2: 6 wire power connectors and tried to boot. Every time, and no matter the order of connectors, or the position on the motherboard, i got the motherboards gpu error sign. I spent over 4 hours trolling forums and have no idea how to go about trouble shooting.
For my own trouble shooting i checked my own GPU, which worked fine but is now failing:see my first post, i tried different slots, 1 2 and combinations of power suply cords, and not much else. What should i do im really quite lost; this blackfriday miracle is turning into a disaster
