Unfortunately it still did not work, i'm going to send the drive back for a replacement. Thanks for the help and explanation!

It works if i mirror the non problematic drives. However, I booted up the pc with a windows install and was able to format the problem drive and write data to it. Could the drive still be DOA in this case?

It is the same drive every time, I tried swapping both the sata cable and the port, issue still persists.

Hi, I just rebuilt my NAS with some new hardware and am trying to make a pool with 3x4tb WD blue drives. When I click create in the pool manager it gets stuck at 15% overall, with 2/3 disk wipes going through and the last one at 0%. The issue also occurs when I run the disk wipe individually from the disks page. They are brand new disks so there shouldn't be anything on them.

As i was browsing my local Craigslist I came across a guy selling an EVGA 1080/1070 Hybrid cooler. I am thinking about picking it up and trying to mod it to fit on my RX 480 nitro (Ive been thinking about water cooling it since it runs super hot in my Evolv Shift build). Im wondering if the fan headers on my RX 480 will work with the cooler's fan connectors (even if some modding is required).

I have the power setting on "high performance" which has the "put the computer to sleep" option set to "Never". When the issue happens, the PC appears to still be completely on, not in a sleep mode since all of the fans are spinning and the power led is solid.

So I checked the event viewer and there were no errors around the time that the monitors went to sleep. I also noticed that the problem doesn't occur right away. If I press a button on the keyboard right away after the screens turn off, it wakes them up normally, however If I leave the PC idling for more than ~15 minutes the keyboard and mouse don't wake the PC up.

You are correct about the boot time, and I usually just turn it off when I leave to go do something. However I like the option of having the monitors turn off in case I forget. Turning off the monitors by hand works too, but its not very convenient. I'm totally fine with living with the problem, I'm just wondering if there is a possibility that it can be fixed right now before I resign to waiting it out.

Good to know I'm not the only person having this type of issue, thanks

Interesting, good to know Not sure, im not actually home at the moment so Ill take a look as soon as I get back, sorry about that.

Clean installing windows is always an option, but id like to keep that as last resort. I also like to have the monitors turn off after X time just to avoid burn in and save on power.

Nope the LEDs don't change. However, the keyboard and mouse do remain powered on.

So I am having some strange issues after installing my RX 480 Nitro 8GB OC. After I leave my PC idle for a while windows 10 automatically shuts off the monitors, which is fine. However when I try to wake them up by pressing keys on the keyboard or clicking the mouse, nothing happens. The only thing I can do is reset my pc with the reset button/hold down the power button and shut it off. Both of my monitors ( 2x Acer R240HY bidx ) are connected with HDMI and work fine with my other PCs and work fine with this PC as long as I don't let windows turn them off. I have tried reinstalling the display drivers multiple times, reverting to the 16.8.1 crimson drivers and clearing my CMOS with no success. There has also been another less annoying and more random issue, where on startup, my second monitor loses signal at the windows log in screen. I can fix this by, after logging in, opening up the screen resolution tab in control panel and switching, first to "show desktop only 1" and then switching back to "extend these displays". Immediately the second monitor gets a signal and it functions as usual. I am wondering if these problems are related since both deal with the monitors not receiving a signal. I have done some research and have not been able to find any solutions to my particular problem. I don't think my card is defective since it runs completely normally except for in these two situations and I am starting to wonder if this is an issue with AMD's drivers. Here are my system specs: CPU: i7 5960x RAM: 2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 GPU: Sapphire RX 480 Nitro 8GB OC Motherboard: MSI X99A SLI Krait Edition Powersupply: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GS SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB Monitors: 2x Acer R240HY bidx Thanks in advance for your help

Dang that stinks, tbh I got really lucky and happened to check the page at the right time. (the notification came, but only after the cards had already sold out). Also check out the nowinstock.net page for the RX 480, they update whats in stock across multiple retailers and also have a notification system.

The Rx 480 nitro cards came back in stock on Newegg for about 10 minutes last Thursday. I was able to snag one by refreshing the page constantly until it let me add one to cart and check out. There are a lot of people who want them so I'm not surprised they went so quick. Just keep an eye on the Newegg product page, set up auto notifications and you should be able to snag one the next time they are in stock.
