Check your motherboard's BIOS settings for default display adapter. Make sure it's on PCIE or PEG.

Sorry noob here but how?

 

[MrN1ce9uy]

*Before you try this, are you plugging your monitor cable in to the GPU itself or leaving it connected to your motherboard? Make sure you had it connected directly to the RX 460 before you spend time changing the default display adapter. If you already had it connected to your RX 460 and it was not working, then proceed below.

Remove the GPU. Turn on your PC. When it comes on, the first screen will be your POST screen, which will tell you to press a certain key to enter setup or enter BIOS. You have to press that key. You only have a couple seconds, so you may have to restart and try again if you miss it. It will be a key like F2, F11, DEL, etc.

Here's a guide on entering BIOS: http://www.pcworld.com/article/241032/how_to_enter_your_pcs_bios.html

Then you should see different menu titles. Look for peripherals maybe, and it default display adapter should be under that menu. You want to enable PEG or PCIE graphics/display so that you are not using the integrated graphics on your motherboard.

And did you select GFX Configuration? That looks like what you want to change.

Select PCI slot video (I think, because I can't read what's highlighted). Then save and exit. You system will restart. Then shutdown. Install your RX 460 and hope it works.

Is rx 460 compatible with my moba?
My moba is F2A68HM-DS2

 

[MrN1ce9uy]

Does your Rx 460 require a 6-pin pcie connector? If so, do you have your PSU connected to it?

 

[Whatta Treeat]

Power color rx 460 doesnt have any pcie connector...

 

[MrN1ce9uy]

Ok I'm not sure what else it could be right now. I'll have to think about it more tomorrow.

What's the specific make and model of your computer?

 

[RobCrezz]

Have you moved the monitor cable to the graphics card output (not the motherboard)?

Try using something else other than VGA, like HDMI or DVI.
