Hello, I just bought a RX 460 OC from MSI to add to a prebuilt (I've never built my own PC) I bought but it seems I can't get it to work.
My specs:
CPU: A8-6600k with HD8570D
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-DS2
RAM: 8GB
PSU: Integrator 500W 80+ Bronze by Aerocool
I'm sorry for the long post in advance, I'm so close to bursting into tears not knowing what to do.
Here is the story. I first installed it and then booted up my PC on a monitor using a VGA to HDMI converter. The monitor said no signal. I thought about it and thought it was the converter that was just not working so I went and got one of my small TV monitors with HDMI and tried again connecting it straight to the GPU. No luck, the monitor did't recognize that there was a signal coming through the HDMI. At this point I google this problem and find that it probably has to do with my BIOS not being updated. Okay, I update the BIOS of my Gigabyte GA-F2A78M-DS2 to the current version and try again. Nope. Then, I remember that last time I installed an HD5450 without needing to disable the integrated graphics but this time I might need to. I try and disable it. Put the GPU back again.... nope. Now I had my integrated graphics disabled and the GPU. Since I don't know anything about PCs I start to panic and I google it again and learn how to clear the CMOS to restart the BIOS.
I take it out, and I'm back to where I started. Out of frustration I try and install the RX 460 Drivers before putting in the GPU just to see if it worked and that didn't work out either. Now when I boot up my PC it starts in 800x600 res. I got no idea what happened or if the GPU is just not working. I was so happy when it came and now that it doesn't work it is just killing me emotionally. If you could help I would really appreciate it.
