I bought this card: Sapphire Radeon PULSE RX 560 2GB OC 11267-02-20G

To replace my old AMD 6950 Cayman, I tested the card in three separated pcs, Core 2 Duo, AMD 940 CPU and Celeron G440 CPU, in all these pcs the card worked fine, but when I tested in my old i5 2500k with MSI P67-GD65 B3 the card just died, no video signal, tested again in the others pcs same result no video signal, I installed the old AMD 6950 and it worked phewww :)

A friend also bought this card he also has a 2nd gen intel CPU I think is i3 2100, don't know what motherboard he has and the same thing happened but in this case the card didn't die, so the store gave him another GPU card model so problem solved, but I didn't have that luck :(

So my question is have anyone here had this problem?
Can't find any info about it using google
