Hello, I just bought a Sapphire R9 290 from ebay (only 2 months used, good price so maybe I got scammend and it's already, I don't know, but I hope not).

So now the problem, when I start my PC, the screen stays black and my monitor acts like there is no PC connected, do I maybe need a bios update for my motherboard, or something like that?

I use a:
ASRock p67 pro 3
I5 2500k
8gb RAM
750watt be Quiet power supply

When i use my old card (GTX 570 everything is fine, I just newly installed windows, so no old drivers of NVidia or something like that.

Yhea already did that, to 3.30, then heard this has not everything in it, so I also installed 3.2 and 3.1 and 3.3 again, no change :( .

When I don't find a solution (or someone has one) I will send it back on monday.
