Hi I just got a xfx radeon rx 480 rs 4gb gpu and a seasonic 520w psu. after installing my new psu and gpu i tried to boot but not even the bios was showing up it will not even give a signal to the monitor.

i have then tested it again with my old gpu and everything worked fine

but with the rx 480 i get no signal the fans are spinning and the blue light is on indicating that there is suficient power for the card

 

can someone help me out?

Take the rx480 out of the equation and see if it'll boot with the iGPU on the i5.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

Try booting from the igpu (remove your rx480) and see if you can get into the bios.

In the bios there might be a setting to choose which gpu to initialize first, make sure that setting is set to the pcie graphics and not the igpu.

Try booting into the iGPU, installing the latest drivers for your GPU, then see if it boots with the 480.

OK, can you try a different output from the rx480? or try a different hdmi cable.

I dont find that surprising, as the bios does not require drivers.

I would try my suggestion ;)

Boot from the integrated graphics (unplug the rx480), and go into the bios.

Hmm, maby you got a DOA rx 480?

Is the pcie power plugged in?

Do you have any other systems that you could test the gpu in (friends/family)?

Does the fan on the RX 480 start spinning? Or is it just completely dead?

It's only a suggestion, but if you have one, try a different PCI-e slot... I'm guessing it won't help, but worth a try. Other than that you're left with it being power related I guess, even though as you said above. What rx480 did you buy? can you link to the exact model you bought.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
