[SOLVED] R9 390 won't display on confirmed build

[The Outcast]

I have a Foxconn h61mxv v2.0 lga1155 motherboard confirmed working with 8gb of ram and a i3 processor. All of this is confirmed to work with another graphics card (gtx 650). Whenever I hook up the r9 390 however, everything physically working ( fan, lights), but there is no display. I've tried a bunch of different combination of working (confirmed parts however still no dice). I figure it has to be something else i'm missing. Could use some help.

make and model of the psu?
r9 390 need a lot more power than gtx 650

 

[The Outcast]

Yeah, your right about that. The model is the A-Power AK, 800 watt, a decent amount of power.

 

[rgd1101]

on paper is great. quality questionable.

 

[The Outcast]

Yeah, it seems to be working though, the gpu seems to be the variable here. Wouldn't the PC just shutdown if it wasn't getting enough power because everything seems to be working except the r9 390, is there any other possibilities?

whatever other than the psu that you did not swap for testing?

I swapped out the psu, the motherboard, ram, cpu. The graphics card was working on my other computer which now now uses a rtx 2080. It seems I've exhausted all possibilities combinations, unless it's software related. I'm using windows 10 and the stock bios that comes with the motherboard.

 

[rgd1101]

what psu did you swapped to?

 

[The Outcast]

Powork pw-650 watt. Not a great quality, but tested and works.

 

[rgd1101]

I would start by not using any sub quality psu for r9 390

 

[The Outcast]

It's confirmed working.. It might just be the bios of the motherboard needs updating

 

[The Outcast]

I have a build that all parts are confirmed to work, seperately, but I'm getting no display. The graphics card seems it isn't meshing with the rest of the build. My build is as follows.

Foxconn h61mxv rev2.0 mobo
intel i3-2120 cpu
A=tech 2x4gb ram
A-Power Ak-800 watt psu
Hitachi Ultrastar 1tb 7200 rpm hard drive
R9 390 graphics card.

I just want to say that the graphics card is confirmed working on my other working build I have. I tried disabling the integrated graphics card and still no display on the r9 390. I have a gtx 650 that I use to get display and change the settings, at least until I can figure out what is wrong with the r9 390. Ideas anyone, I figure i've tried it all. I hope I missed something.

Which model 390 do you have? Im wondering if it's a model with an uefi/legacy Bios switch. If it's got such a switch, try that.

 

[The Outcast]

The model number is V308-041R . I haven't seen a switch on it yet.

 

[rickypicky5]

Are you using both 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors?

What PSU do you have on the system that works with the R9 390?

Doesn't appear to have a switch that i can see either, nothing of it is mentioned in the manual albeit only a quick start manual. If there was one, it'll be a clearly visible switch around the PCB edge somewhere.

It's hard to say if MSI's 390 uses dual vbios. If it supports both, it's possible the motherboard's bios might not be compatible with how the gpu operates it's legacy bios boot tables. If there's a motherboard bios update available, i suggest try update.

The confirmed psu is the EVGA Supernova 1000 g2, It's being used with the rtx 2080 so that power supply is a bit larger.

Ok, I haven't been able to find the bios update for this motherboard yet, i'll keep looking. This mobo is not well-known, regrettably.

 

[rickypicky5]

I can't find much info online about your A-Power Ak-800. Is it possible to temporarily swap it out for the EVGA G2 unit in your build and see if that works?

 

[The Outcast]

Just an update, I got it working on my amd motherboard. The issue must have been some sort of compatibility issue between the lga 1155 mobo and the r9 390. Thanks for the assistance.
