Hello guys and girls.
I have an ASUS rx 570 Expedition, just bought from Amazon Warehouse, for very cheap, classed as 'used'.
Long story short after much experimentation, I put it in, and it didn't show anything. I have seen a few people post about BIOS/Legacy/UEFI, so I went down that avenue eventually.
If I leave this option at its previous value of choosing Legacy BIOS as the first option, my PC boots, with no output to the monitor and no activity on the card itself. The card gets gradually hot, but the fans are off, they spin for 5 seconds then they stop so I feel like the card is asleep. However, I know the PC actually boots, as it beeps on startup, then I hear the Windows jingle through my speakers afterwards.
If I put the UEFI Bios priority option, then my PC does not boot. There is no beep, and there is no Windows jingle. However, the card fans are running the entire time! I don't know if that is better or worse in this case.
My current PC is P8p67LE (yep, old), i5 3400, 12gb ddr3 ram, and up til now have used the r9 270X from Sapphire, with no issues, for about 5 years. Corsair 430W PSU.
I believe I have the newest BIOS version. I have cleared the BIOS and the results are the same with legacy/uefi.
If I absolutely have to, I will upgrade my motherboard and CPU, I just had no intention to spend that extra money what with the coronavirus shutdown and all.
Thanks for your help and I hope everyone is looking after themselves and their families in these strange times.
