Thank you very much for your reply! At your suggestion, I put my old GPU (an EVGA GTX 570 HD) into my system, and I was able to power it on with no issues, the display working fine. I borrowed my brother’s system, verified it was operational, and then swapped out his GPU (can’t remember what it was…) with the problem 290. It exhibited exactly the same behaviour as it did in my system, refusing to power on when the 6 and 8 pin ports are plugged in, but powering on just fine (albeit with no display) when they aren’t, the 290’s fans even spinning in this instance.

I will send off an email to the RMA department. Thank you once again!

Happy to report that having the card replaced has solved the issues! Not counting the funny splash screen, since that was actually resolved prior to the replacement by upgrading my BIOS to UEFI.

Thanks very much for all your help!

As could be expected, disabling fullscreen logo did nothing to solve the crashing/artifacts. I would assume it merely hides the glitchy BIOS screen rather than resolves it anyway.

Paul, are you saying Club3D won’t be able to support me with these issues? I understand how Gigabyte could be pointed to as responsible for the glitchy BIOS given they’re the common factor there, but Noxxville7 has had no other issues while I obviously have, and I’m not really sure why they’d be responsible for those

Thank you so much for following up! I think I agree with your assessment, but nonetheless it’s worth a try. I am just about to go to bed now, but I will give it a shot in the morning

Oops, of course! That would be “Award Software International, Inc. F10, 21/02/2012”. I assumed you meant the GPU BIOS since that seems to be what’s causing the problem. Good to have both of them on hand in case somebody else asks me at least, lol

This is from installing Catalyst 14.12. Please let me know if there’s anything I can test on my end to help us figure this out

Certainly, it is the one found here

Certainly! I am at work right now but I should be home in a couple hours, I’ll get back to you then. Thank you very much for your reply!

Thanks for the response Paul!

After inserting the card, before installing the AMD drivers, the only issue I had noticed was the mobo’s splash screen appearing as such: http://i.imgur.com/2jiB7wG.jpg
I assumed this was simply a consequence of the missing drivers so I went ahead and installed them, which is when the other artifacts started appearing, and the hanging/crashing started happening.
I had been using an EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD alongside Windows 7 in this build for 4 years with no issues. The NVIDIA drivers have been removed using the Display Driver Uninstaller I mentioned, although I did forget to do so before installing the new card.

Also, unrelated question, is there any way to delete comments on this forum? I accidentally posted this comment as a reply to my post rather than your comment, and I’ve only figured out how to remove the text rather than delete it entirely…
