I just bought a whole new rig. Motherboard H81 Pro BTC, 1x to 16x riser cables, 8GB DDR3 ram, 128GB SSD, and 3 XFX 290s.
I build the whole system, install windows and catalyst 13.12. Then things start going weird. Sometimes the system boots, sometimes to black screen, sometimes I'll see artifacts all over the screen, obviously something isn't right with my build.
If I use the onboard HDMI output on the mobo, everything is fine, if I plug my HDMI into a graphics card it's a problem.
What I've tried : Different video card (same issue), different riser cable (same issue), connecting one video card directly to the 16x PCI slot (same issue).
I'm missing something small, it's gotta be. Any ideas?
