RX480 Install Issues

[Yurimachus]

I've recently purchased a Gigabyte RX480 Windforce 8GB (GV-RX480WF2-8GD) card that I can't seem to get installed. My system components are as follows.

CPU: i5 4460
Motherboard: As-Rock B85 Anniversary
RAM: 2x4GB G-Skill Ares Series 1866
PSU: XFX TS Series 550 Watt

The GPU is installed correct as far as I can tell. The LEDs don't light however and the fans won't spin up. When I try to install the drivers neither the latest drivers from the AMD website or the drivers supplied on the disc will install. I get the same error saying that it can't detect any AMD hardware.

I am running Windows 10 and it is full updated. In addition, I installed the latest drivers for the motherboard. And previous to this I was just using the onboard graphics so I don't have NVIDIA drivers installed or anything like that.

Any ideas about what else I can do would be great as I can't seem to get anywhere with this. Thanks for any thoughts or ideas you all have!

Make sure it's slotted correctly and the PCIE power from the PSU is inserted correctly into the card.
