Radeon R7 370 issues

[blittle310]

Ive been struggling the last two days to get my new r7 370 gpu to work with my pc. Every time i boot up with the card installed, it either gets stuck on the bios splash screen or doesnt even display anything. Any input on how to get this card to work would be greatly appreciated.

See if the BIOS has an option for UEFI boot. If so, enable it.

I do have it enabled..

I would check the contacts (the yellow pins sticking out on the GPU) to make sure they are clean. You may want to even try cleaning them with isopropyl alcohol once it reaches the point where you are considering RMA.

Then there's a BIOS conflict between the legacy BIOS of the motherboard and the UEFI BIOS of the card. I had the same problem with my R7-370 and my Intel DP45SG motherboard. The Intel rep I talked with on their forum told me to make that boot change in BIOS, and it still didn't work. He finally had to assume it was a BIOS conflict between new card and old board.

And yet, my GTX 960 with UEFI BIOS had no problem on that board. So it appeared to be strictly an AMD thing.

If i have UEFI boot on it does literally nothing but if i have it set to legacy boot, i can get into bios with the 370. Its really messed up..

Yeah, sounds like a BIOS conflict. Not much you can do, if that's the problem. Can you still return the card for different one?
