Very confusing graphics card issue

[JamesHewitt]

So, I bought the following system and I am reusing my ASUS X99 deluxe Original and 5820k. 

 

PC posts, can install windows etc and then when I try and install the AMD drivers it's either not detecting the GPU even though I can see it's working, or it blackscreens and nothing happens. I can still look at BIOS just not windows.

 

Any ideas?

Are you sure you've connected the display to GPU display output ?

Yes. It displays up until I install the graphics drivers

Try manually clearing your BIOS. There should be a jumper on the motherboard, and the instructions on how to use it will be in the motherboard manual. Once that's done, reboot, go into the BIOS and enable XMP/DOCP for the memory ONLY, (change nothing else) and do a fresh install of Windows.

Did a CMOS clear, updated and downgraded the bios to same result. XMP on or off didn't change anything either

Did you try it in the exact order I mentioned? The order of the process is important.

 

If you did, then it's either a major Windows bug, or you have a piece of bad hardware. At that point, see if you can borrow a known good GPU, and see if it works. If it doesn't, then there's something wrong with either the motherboard or CPU.

 

Make sure all the power plugs on the GPU are properly connected as well.
