No display signal with new GPU (RX 480)

Boxto

I got my new RX 480 yesterday and when I try to plug it in I get no signal to my monitor. My computer turns on (I can even hear the windows sound) and my GPU lights up and it's fans start spinning. I'm using a DVI-D cable and my trusty old HD 6870 works using the same cable.

I'm using this setup:

 

GPU: XFX RX 480 4GB

CPU: Xeon E3 1231v3

Motherboard: MSI H97M PC MATE

16GB RAM, 650W PSU

OS: Windows 10 64bit (also tried Windows 7 64bit)

 

I've tried the usual google answers. Triple checked that everything is connected and that I'm connected to the GPU and not the Motherboard, updated my BIOS, deleted old drivers, formatted and reinstalled Windows, made the integrated graphics the default in BIOS and messed with other random BIOS settings.

 

I'm gonna try another monitor using an HDMI tomorrow or the day after and hopefully test the GPU in my friends PC soon as well, but until then; does anyone have any suggestion for what I could do?

I've tried this maybe 30 times now so I'm fairly certain this isn't the issue.

Maybe there's something internally wrong with the card...can you get a new one since u just bought it yesterday?

 

I'd think so, but that's kinda useless if there is something wrong with some other thing so its kind of the last option.

I have the same card and had the same issue. What I did to fix it was before installing the card I downloaded the amd drivers and put the folder on my desktop. Shut down the computer and installed my graphics card.  Booted back up into safe mode and installed the drivers with the card installed. Then restarted and all was good in the world.
