Hey guys,
First time poster long time lurker
Recently put together a PC using
Motherboard MSI B85-G43 GAMING
and an MSI RX480 8gb Card
PSU is a VS750
It's all up and running but for some reason whenever I plug the card *using an extender as the case requires one) into the PCIE3.0 x16 Slot - There is no display, i've checked the connection multiple times, ensured it was plugged in correctly - The card turns on, lights up, fans spin and the whole works but there is no display.
I then plug it into the PCIE2.0 x4 speed slot and I will have a display as I should.
Can anyone think of any reason why this could be happening? Anything I could possible troubleshoot?
Thanks!
*Was unsure if this was a motherboard or GPU question*
Further Update -
So I decided to reset the CMOS and then plug the GPU into the top slot - Much to my excitement, I got a display! However the PC was really slow, everything was, even the BIOS would load one character at a time. Tried to reinstall drivers, tried to reset to optimised defaults but it was incredibly slow and unusable.
Not only that, but when I restarted my PC, it would SOMETIMES have a display and sometimes not. I really have no idea what was going on...;
For now i've just plugged it back in the second slot and things seem to be running fine again, however a little disappointed i'm not getting as much out of the GPU as I would like, I eventually planned to crossfire as well however with the issues im having with the top slot it seems like it wont really be possible...
Happy to continue trying any other ideas anyone may have but to me, it's looking like the motherboard is the culprit here...
