Hi there.

Some days ago I decided to upgrade my system.

I bought everything new, except for the GPU.
The new parts arrived quickly, I managed to put everything together and put my old GPU (HD 6770) in until the new one would arrive.

It all worked.

Then my GPU arrived (AMD RX 480 4G, sapphire).

I put it in - everything was fine.

I installed the drivers from the AMD Website and did a restart when the installation process was finished.

But that didn't work out so well.

I got a black screen with a little white bar randomly placed somewhere in the upper left of the screen.

I can't even go into the BIOS because the black screen happens to appear just instantly after starting the PC.

After 10-20 minutes windows boots up and everything works perfectly fine, windows detects the GPU, it all works.

 

-- Here a few sidenotes --

If I press *Del* a few times after starting I can get into the BIOS, but only after 10-20 minutes starring at that black screen.

I did update the BIOS to the newest version.

While the PC is having that black screen the EZ DEBUG LED at my mainboard lights up in the VGA spot.

When I'm in Windows that light disappears...

 

My current system is:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600

2x8GB DDR4 G.Skill Aegis F4-3000

Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 480 4GB DDR5

Xilence 430W 80 plus bronce

Crucial 240GB SSD

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks, Simon
