Trying to get some help here. Recently bought a XFX Vega 56 graphics card.
My computer works fine with a different graphics card (a beater 8600gt or something).
My power supply is Corsair TX650W (bronze I think).
When I plug in the Vega, the card fans spins for around 10 seconds and the fans stop after that, although the XFX graphics card lights are still on. I get no display. I suppose there are three distinct possibilities.
1) The card is defective (will try to verify this in a few days with a different computer elsewhere).
2) The PSU is under-powered/defective. It works fine with 8600 gt and a I5 2500K system, but adding a power hungry Vega is too much?
3)There is something wrong with the mobo bios settings (or perhaps drivers?) that is preventing sufficient juice to be delivered to the cards. Perhaps, cutting off the power because of power saving? I did try to reset the mobo bios setting by unseating the CMOS battery.
My question would be: which scenario is most likely? And, how would I check/fix for scenario 3?
Thanks for the help
