Used a gtx 670 before, and it was fine. Uninstalled all Nvidia drivers, plugged in rx 570 (msi armour 8gb oc edition), no post beep, black screen. Plug monitor in integrated graphics connector, went in and enabled safe mode plus disable Intel HD 4000 graphics. Shut down comp. Plug in rx 570. Black screen no post. Set the graphic adapter in bios to PEG. No luck. Reset cmos, by jumper and by battery removal. No luck. If you can help that would be wonderful.

Yes I remembered to plug in 8 pin power connector. Tried both sets (Psu = corsair cx500). Fan runs on video card, but computer won't detect it plugged in.

Help? Eternal appreciation.

Win 10 x64 build 1803

In my bios, the best I can do for that is set my first boot device to UEFI, and 2nd to my SSD. Still doesn't work.

Lastly, if I wipe windows and reinstall a new version, would it help at all?

Also, according to http://www.pc-specs.com/gpu/ATI/R-500_Series/Radeon_RX_570_8GB/3878/Compatible_Motherboards

My Mobo should have support for this video card... it's bios is revision 4.0

I suggest going here and getting the most recent BIOS for the motherboard and then try again.

you're right.

I just did a bios update. Bios went from a crappy legacy style OEM bios to a full fledged updated American Megatrends UEFI style Bios. Then the installation of the vid card was a breeze.

Had to use the USB CMD method for bios flash; stupid foxconn's software doesn't do anything.
