mobo being WIERD

[orze]

i made a topic on that way back but i got massive updates on teh issue and im confused.

 

so i had a old h77 mobo and a 3570k laying around so i build a pc and got a r9 290 to go with it a preety solid pair if u ask me

thing is everything was wierd....the gpu will work perfectly UNTIL u install drivers. after u do it and reboot there will be no video. the pc will boot and sounds will go.

but u gotta move he hdmi to the mobo (igpu) to get video. and the pc will stop recognising the r9 290 at start i was sure the gpu is fucked cus i got a random gtx 650 i had to work perfectly on this mobo.

but i had a freind give me a old z68 mobo he had. and the r9 290 works flawlessly on it! same cpu! the windows is a fresh install 

and lastest bios

i even tried punting a i7 3770 in there and same issue!

SO WHY does it work on 1 mobo and not the other!

hell there is a 730w rosewell psu in there that should be WAY over what the r9 needs. any1 knows what can do it?

id understand "the mobo is broken" but why will some gpu's work perfectly and that r9 only works first boot and isnt recognised after a reboot.

 

id hate to know that mobo is just bad cus its a h77 and id love it more then the z68 but ah....

 

thx for any help and excuse me for the english.

I don't think the mobo is bad. It is probably an outdated BIOS. Try updating it

As i wrote allready...lastest bios

Then the mobo is likely faulty.
