Hi, I recently purchased​ a used r9 390x off Amazon and it seems to run furmark and over becnhmarks/stress tests fine but the bios splash screen is extremely weird displaying mostly blue screen with random colour boxes along the bottom, this only happens in the post screen and after googling it seems to be a common issue but I haven't found a solution.

Current specs
Fx 8350 @4ghz
Xfx R9 390x gigabyte 990fxa ud3
8gb 1600mhz Corsair vengeance 2x4
Xfx 850w pro bronze PSU
I know for sure it's not a power draw issue as I have a fair bit more than needed to fuel the system and I have 30 days to decide whether to keep it as per the warehouse policy, the reason for buying is because I managed to get it for £130 as used very good so I'm hoping not to part ways with it. I also noticed it heats up a lot I'm not sure if it's normal but I'm seeing 80s when stress testing but the fans don't kick to 100%

I'd usually agree but it only occurs during boot up even from a cold start and I see many threads with the same issue I game on it just fine was hoping for more insight
