Hi, my rx 480 arrived today, but... when I plug it in, no screen(s) turn on and there's no beep codes. The fans spin, but they do not spin right up (which normally happens when I reset the machine).
I've tried re-seating it in a known good slot, with different power cables.
I have a 700w Ocz PSU (with 2 6/8 pin connectors), and I've tried running it with the other GPU (a 270X) removed.
Tested the GPU in another machine and it worked straight away.
Installed the latest bios, with default settings
Removed all but one stick of memory, same goes for drives.
Even striped the machine back the essentials.
I guess it's either the PSU or the motherboard, it's an MSI GD65 (i7 2600k) with the additional 8 pin power connector. I can pick up a new PSU tomorrow, but I really hope this isn't the motherboard.
Wondering if this is because they're sucking too much power from the PCIE slot?
