Ahh, I meant your motherboard BIOS version. The jumbled screen you see at the start is actually the first stage of the POST operation – during the jumble is when you’d press delete to enter the BIOS, F12 to enter boot menu, etc.

When I used my original card the screen displayed properly, but the 290 royalace is causing the identical jumble as yours. I’ll be updating my BIOS later tonight to UEFI which also has a new splash screen and I’m hoping it will solve the issue.

I’ll likely be doing this within the next few hours and I’ll let you know what I end up with. I feel like I’ll have a slightly different looking jumble to take a picture of :P.
