Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here goes anyway.
Current build:
AMD FX-8350
GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P
SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 7950 3GB
ADATA XPG 2x4GB
Corsair CX750
I've been running this build for a good few years, but i finally decided to upgrade a little to get into VR. Seeing that the GPU was really the only thing that didn't hold up, I picked up an XFX RADEON RX 570, but I've been having some trouble getting it running. On first hooking it up, a blue light would come on under the 8 pin power, and the fans would spin for about 15 seconds before they stopped with nothing showing on the monitor at all during that time. I tried it a few more times after making sure all power and cables were plugged in correctly, but still the same result. After some googling, I tried updating the BIOS to the latest version, which was only a year newer than what I had currently. This time on startup the fans spun for their 15 seconds and stopped, then spun for 5 more and stopped again. Still nothing on screen. What else could cause this issue? Is there a newer BIOS update for my motherboard other than the F2j update on GIGABYTE's website? Am I doomed to put even more money into this PC?
