Hi guys!
I know this has been discussed at length, I have read many forums surrounding this issue. Just can't find a solution.
I recently purchased a Sapphire R9 380 4GB and after installing can not get passed post, ie black screen/no signal. The PCIe port works, as my previous card (GTX 460SE) when reinstalled works fine. I have tried having the new card in, and monitor plugged in to MB, still no signal. However when I take the R9 out the MB output works fine. I have changed BIOS to use the PCIe slot as default. I have upgraded BIOS to the latest version and restored defaults. I have tested the R9 in another computer with basically the same hardware as mine (mainly a slightly different MB) - which worked, however it started with a multi coloured blocky screen before displaying the BIOS screen..
I'm leaning toward the MB being incompatible (even though according to the manual I see no issues) or the PSU not having enough power. I don't believe the card is faulty as it did work (just weird about the multi coloured start screen) in another system..
Any insight would be amazing! Jordan
