Power colour rx 5700 xt

[Ama3ed]

Hi all just bobbed on here to see if anyone has any ideas why this card isnt working !

Im running an old ish machine its a p6t delux with an x5680 and 12 gig of gskill with a hx1200i psu.

I can get the bios to display but as soon as you try to boot windows nothing just a black screen.
I have tried all pcie slots and took some ram out and even formatted c drive just incase and conflicts were there. Still no joy.
Any ideas.
Regards,
Karl.

Not the same card but probably a similar issue

Is this before even installing a driver?

Try a different screen as well if you can.

I have tried the tv aswell it a 4k, im stumped as it displays the bios fine and the post screen, it just may be the mb is too old.

What happens when drivers aren't installed?

See if you can boot up in safe mode.

I had a similar experience on an old board when moving from a GTX570 to 7970. Motherboard bios update was required in my case.

I have installed win 10 and it does put some display drivers on as part of the installation. Would ddu take everything out ?

I would try and boot up in safe mode and remove those drivers. You shouldn't have to use DDU, do it via device manager.

Use DDU in windows safe mode. Set it to NEVER EVER AGAIN install the windows drivers. Download and install 19.7.1 drivers when you have connected the 5700XT.

Yea I recall when building a new media PC for my father using the 2200G (with on-board Vega graphic), it had the same problem with the windows update's installed driver literally make the screen go blank after the reboot and fail to get to the desktop.

Can't remember exactly what I did, but I think when installing windows I made sure I was disconnected from the internet so Windows would not update (which include installing graphic driver) as part of the initial setup. I downloaded the latest graphic driver and put in onto a USB stick, and installed it first thing after I got to the desktop the first time. After that connecting to the internet and restarting windows the screen would no longer go blank and stuck there and fail to get to the desktop.

This was like 8 months ago...can't believe MS still left that obviously borked AMD graphic driver there for people to update to...

Its looking like a problem with rhe xeon cpu and the instruction within like the security one. To be honest i have decided to upgrade the lot as it was getting a bit long in the tooth. See how this goes lol.
Many thanks

I hope the parts you bought is based around AMD Ryzen 2 CPU not the Intel dated 14nm CPU with vulnerabilities...

Had similar problem when the 7970 came out and my Asus Rampage. Needed to upgrade the BIOS. Good luck with the rebuild, I hope you have fun, its always nice getting new toys.

I'd strongly recommend a Ryzen 3600 over the 2700. Same price.
