Q9650/intel MB rejecting r9 280x

[drealjacas]

Hi folks been building comps for years and this forum has helped me more than once! But it seems I may have run into an issue due to my hoarding habit!

Having three boys I tend not to throw relevant computer parts out the door I had an r9 280x free up in one of our four systems and I tried throwing it in with the system below

Q9650/ 8GB ram
Intel DG33TL MB bios DPP3510J...................2346 it's very long
Thermaltake tr2 600w
Single fan out for exhaust
1 ssd
2 hhd

I had a r9 270 working in there with no issue but my 280x is stuck at bios splash screen!

I feel I have more than enough power even if it a bronze PSU!

R9 came from a perfectly good g3258 healthy system for the past 2 yrs with only a 625w PSU also Bronze

the R9 280x is basically an HD 7970, and I had a Q8300 Duo Core 2 Quad myself and found I could only run a HD 7770 on it. (ie R9-260) the R9-270 was literally HD 7870. Not sure why but I know my 7970 with Q8300 was a no go. but worked well with 7770

Test if the card works on other systems and make sure everything is seated properly and check PCI-e power pins to the GPU. I don't think it should be rejecting the GPU for no reason. What exactly do you mean by the BIOS Splash screen?

Hmm ok well I guess he's just going to use that till ryzen upgrade for me! Would like to know what it is though, as I said before Q9650 also surprised me when it wasn't Windows 10 capable while 9550 and extreme was??

not sure if my q8300 is similar as your Q9650, but windows 10 run but has issues, windows 8.1 mind you runs like a champ.

make sure the mb bios is up to date sometime it can be bios issue with some gpu.
