I cannot get my box to work with the RX 480. The blue light on the card comes on to tell me the power is OK. The system will even turn on long enough for me to see the desktop but then it shuts itself off.
For my motherboard Asus says that the 1605 bios update is the latest. I have that version so I assume that is all up to date.
I did notice some posts talking about UEFI and I saw that mine says Legacy . I don't know what that means but I do know that they are not the same word. Here is where I got the "legacy" information. http://imgur.com/Lg4wD1Q
Anyway, I took the card out and put back in my old GTX 650 to write this. The reason I am replacing my GTX 650 is because it shuts down the machine as soon as I try to play a game. I used something called a FurMark GPU test and as soon as I stressed the GPU it shut down the machine.
Does this mean that I don't have a problem with my video card and that I have some other kind of problem? Or does it mean that I have a driver problem for the RX 480 that I don't know how to fix yet?
Also the 1605 bios seems to be the latest but maybe it isn't. i think I have the earliest M5A97 but I don't know. There are 3 or so versions of this thing.
I have no idea what to do to resolve this.
One more thing.
When I took out the RX480 and put this back in I could see that it tried to install some software. There is a little red Radeon icon displayed on my system but no drivers were installed. And I tried to install the drivers from the CD but it won't read the CD (my CD player always works, so I don't know why it won't read this particular CD).
I hope you folks have some ideas because I don't. Thanks.
