New gigabyte radeon r7 370 graphics card not detected

[tombcat]

Just bought the Gigabyte Radeon R7 370 plugged it in and the hdmi. Turned it on and black screen. Graphic card's fans are not spinning. Hmdi cord works. Used onboard GPU to install drivers but the graphics card isn't even showing up in device manager. I hope it isn't DOA...

What is the rest of your system's specs? In particular, the make/model of the motherboard.

My hunch (and it's only a hunch) is that the older board with its legacy BIOS is not compatible with the newer UEFI BIOS of that card. I base this on the fact that I have that same video card. I can't get it to run in my Intel DP45SG board from about that same era. Yet the card runs fine in every other board I have tried it in. AND, every other UEFI-BIOS card I have runs fine in the Intel board. It is just that one GIgabyte R7-370 and the Intel DP45SG that won't play nice together.

What converter are you using? HDMI carries no analog signals, only digital. You would need a dedicated digital-to-analog converter (DAC).

OK try THX
