So I'm at the end of my rope, I recently bought an XFX Radeon RX 480 GTR Black 8GB card. Cleaned off the drivers for my R9 270, installed the new card and ran the disk that came with it. Went into Radeon settings and updated to the latest drivers (16.9.1). I've tried running Fallout 4 and Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor, in both cases I get a black screen followed by my monitor losing signal. Even hitting fullscreen on the Radeon settings program causes this to happen. Only way to get the screen back is a hard reboot with the reset button.
Things I have tried so far:
- uninstalling the drivers and using only the version on the disk (16.7.3)
- uninstalling drivers and using the 16.7.2 ones
- Reseated my RAM
Starting to think it's either a PSU problem or a bad card, but with my limited knowledge of these things I'm not sure.
Current setup is
- Win 7
- ASRock 990FX Extreme3 Motherboard
- AMD FX-8350 8 Core Black Edition Processor
- Antec VP550P 550W Power Supply
- G.Skill Ares F3-1866C9D-8GAB 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
- XFX Radeon RX 480 GTR Black 8GB
Any help would be appreciated.
Quick update, went through a PSU calculator and the recommended wattage is 467W.
Another update. Updated my BIOS/UEFI whichever it is to the latest version, no change.
