Please a little help here.
I bought the xfx rx 5700 xt thicc II yesterday, and it's not working past BIOS. I can mess with bios and see post it display, but after that the screen goes black and everything stops loading.
I have a very old Crosshair IV formula MB (fx 8350 cpu) working with an R9 290 directu II just fine, and PSU is strong enough (750w ocz fatality).
Is this a compatibility issue with the mb and the card? I've read some stuff regarding UEFI support (which apparently it does not have) and even something about the pcie slot itself but I can't jump to any conclusion yet. Could it also be that the card itself is faulty? I have no way to test it on another computer at least until tomorrow.
UPDATE: Took the card to an info shop close by today and the maintenance guy who tested it said the card is working normally, so not a faulty card.
