Hello all,
I've recently made an effort to squeeze the last bit of relevance out of my old ASRock X370 Professional Gaming motherboard by flashing its BIOS (latest is 7.30), upgrading to a 5800X processor, and re-assembling the custom cooling loop to include a 6800 XT graphics card (previously air cooled).
The good news is that the CPU upgrade looks to be working just fine, however with the 6800 XT installed I get no video at all. At first the board was throwing a "d6" code which, according to the mobo manual, is directly VGA related. The only way I could get into the BIOS was to unplug the 6800 and then install a spare Quadro card in another PCIe slot. This got me into the BIOS, and I could eventually boot Windows from an NVMe, but I can't get there with the 6800 card.
Does anyone have any ideas why this might not be working? I know with the old Vega card sometimes I'd only get video on the monitor once Windows was basically booted all the way up to the logon screen--but that doesn't seem to be the case with the new card. I feel like I'm pretty close to having it working, but I'm a little stumped. I've set everything on PCIe to 'Gen3' in BIOS as some sites have suggested, but still no video output on the 6800 XT. I should also note that I was using this very same graphics card with another X370 board not that long ago.
[UPDATE 13:25]
Well, as I figured might happen... booting up Windows with the spare NVIDIA card, and having the 6800XT connected and plugged in as well, the Radeon card is not detected in Device Manager. I'm thinking this just may be a BIOS thing and might not actually work unfortunately
