While getting the black screen, try pressing F10 and then Enter or Y. See if the system does restart.

That is probably because you are using some kind of TV set as a monitor and it doesn't support the resolution of the BIOS screen. You might try borrowing a Widescreen LCD Monitor.

It means that the system does access the BIOS, but the resolution is not supported by your monitor/ TV.
If using the HDMI, try a different port (DVI or VGA).

Weird. Not sure if a DVI to HDMI adapter would solve the issue.

This System VS Last System is that i was using a DVI to HDMI to my TV but now im using a HDMI to HDMI.

Im going to power off and try the DVI cable like my last setup had. Ill update after I try it.

No luck, tried my DVI to HDMI that i used on my last system and still did the same thing.
I see a cursor for a quarter of a second and blackness.

My GPU is the Sapphire Vapor-X R9 290

I have a support ticket in with Gigabyte, Ill update when I hear anything.
