I have a "refurbished" Sapphire R9 285, that I bought off eBay.
(OK, if you want to lecture me on being stupid...you can skip this thread. Thanks!)
I installed it in my ASUS Sabertooth 990FX / AMD-FX8300 system last night and....NADA...no BIOS message, no display output on HDMI, DVI OR Displayport (tried all three).
So I don't think this is a Windows Driver thing....we aren't even getting a BIOS screen before it attempts to boot.
Now this system has been working fine with a Sapphire HD7750 card, which I removed before I installed the R9 285.
The R9 285 appears to be powering up...the fans are spinning, the Sapphire LED is lit....but no output.
I am using an Antec 550 watt supply (aka Seasonic G series) with the necessary dual six-pin PCIe cable installed and connected to the card.
Any ideas from the gang on how to proceed?
