Hi guys,
I decided to put together a mining rig with my old components, stuff I had upgraded out of but which, to my knowledge, still worked. These are:
Motherboard: Gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3 Rev. 1.0
CPU: AMD FX-8350
1 Stick RAM, DDR3 8GB 1600 MHz cl11
A 256GB SATA SSD.
The plan was to buy a power supply (got an EVGA 500W Gold non-modular), stick in my old RX 480 8GB, and get a trickle of satoshi. The PSU would have paid for itself in about 45 days.
I built the system outside of the case. System appears to POST, GPU lights up, fans are spinning, etc, so I put everything into the case and try to boot. System POSTs again, but there's no video output.
Here is what I've tried:
-Different video outputs and cables
Then,
-Different PCI-E slot (the 8x).
-Unplugged VGA power.
-Using another graphics card - R7 270X 2GB
-Using the other graphics card in the 8x slot.
-All eight permutations of the four methods above
It should be noted that the R7 270X doesn't seem to get as far as the RX 480 - the latter has the light on and fan spinning, while the former's fan stops and starts. This happens with or without VGA power. Also, the FX-8350 does not have integrated video, so I have no feedback aside from whether or not fans are spinning. I don't have a system speaker, or POST-code LED thing.
Stay safe yall!
