Problem with RX480 in my MSI Z68A G3 MB

Hello,

Hope someone can help. Just stumped up for a XFX RX480 GTR 8GB and cannot for the life of me get it to work on the motherboard above https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z68AG43_G3.html#hero-specification



It is running an i5 2500k and after installing the GPU only had blank screens. I run a three monitor setup. So I took it out, managed to boot in using one screen on the iGPU.

I went into msconfig, changed the boot up to safe mode, and powered down. Reinstalled the XFX, with the remaining two monitors connected and the computer won't POST. Nothing. Blank screens (even the iGPU).

Disconnected and then the IGPU works on one screen. So, either the card (unlikely but possible) or a MB bios issue.

And other suggestions because the last BIOS update is from 2012. Do I need to upgrade my MB (hopefully not) or return the card or something else.

Regards

NB.
