Sorry to introduce myself by asking for help but I do really need it as I have exhausted all other avenues and now I'm desperate. I've come here many times looking for help and found it in other peoples problem threads. I bought my rig pre-built and I felt confident enough to swap out the GPU as I've done a few PSU swaps and upgrades already.
Specs
MB: ASUS M5A78L-m (I've read online this is compatible with said GPU)
CPU: AMD FX-4100
PSU: 650w (6 pin but I used an 8pin converter, more about that later)
GPU: ASUS Radeon R570 Expedition OC 4gb (There's 2 LED's, 1=white 2=red)
What I've done so far and problems I have encountered.
Uninstalled previous card
fitted new card (white LED shows)
Failed to boot (need to update MB BIOS)
Remove card, update BIOS, re-fitted card (red LED shows? Figured it meant 'working' as it had turned on)
Turned on PC, installed drivers and ran the setup from the disc it came with. installed, Launch ASUS GPU power tweak, ERROR: Load vender.dll fail. Install VGA Driver
I've gone to the official product page, downloaded drivers again, same error pops up.
turn off PC remove card, cheack all fittings, The 6pin to 8pin is super tight and hard to fit, it's very snug but I install the card again (THIS time the white LED is white, I figured I fixed something) and go through with trying to get my system to recognise the device, same errors and no luck.
Whilst the PC is on, I VERY softly pinched the wires of the 8pin converted and as I did, the LED alternated from white to red as I applied pressure.
The fans never did spin. The device was never recognised in the Control panel >Hardware > device manager.
I figure it's a PSU related problem, it's a cheap psu (I'm on very low budget, was very lucky to get this RX570 on offer) Pulse-Switching-Power-Supply-650w. OR it's the 6pin to 8pin converter. Bother the converter and the GPU are brand new today. OR it's the BIOS, somebody had a similar problem with the PC not booting after fitting a GPU but I've already updated my BIOS through ASUS.
I have to be 100% certain if I need to buy another PSU, as I said, money is a luxury and I've already invested a few weeks income.
Thanks for putting in the effort of reading that
