Hi guys,
I've recently purchased a R9 390 Nitro graphics card and it's giving me all sorts of headaches.
The graphics card boots up fine, everything boots up fine I can even hear windows start up through the speakers. The problem is I get no display on my monitor at all, not even BIOS or anything. I get nothing through the onboard DVI port or the graphics card DVI port. Once I unplug the graphics card, my monitor displays perfectly. So clearly the graphics card/motherboard compatibility is causing an issue here.
After some research, I figured I probably need to upgrade my BIOS as it doesn't recognize the card. I went on the gigabyte website and downloaded a BIOS update for the GA-Z77-D3H motherboard (Rev 1.0). I downloaded the F22 version but that was released back in 2013/11/14.
After updating the BIOS, I noticed my keyboard now powered up (which it previously didn't when the graphics card was in). But unfortunately still zero display on the monitor.
The only other BIOS update version is F23b, however it's a BETA version and was still only released in 2014/01/07. The R9 390 came out late 2015!
Do you think downloading this slightly more recent beta BIOS version would help? Or do you think it's a separate issue? I felt for sure my motherboard should be OK with the graphics card. But I'm thinking maybe I'll just need to buy a more recent one at this rate.
Thanks for your help!
