Hey there! I do IT/SOHO Support on the side, so I feel like I could help you, but I am gonna need a few more details. I will provide brief explanations for the questions in parentheses which may solve your issue outright. Here we go!

  • What graphics card do you have? (I assume RX 480 based on the thread in which you posted this)

  • What video inputs does your monitor use? (If you are converting to VGA, you may only have analog inputs available, which leads to...)

  • Do you know which DVI adapter/cable to use? (DVI-I is both analog and digital, DVI-D is digital, DVI-A is analog. Then there are dual-level DVI inputs, but if you are using an adapter it is mostly irrelevant. Look up the conversion differences depending on what you are trying to do. VGA (analog) monitors are less and less likely to work with newer graphics cards).

  • Are you able to use an HDMI cable to test this computer on a television? (This can verify that the drivers, BIOS, config, etc. are at least working through another port on the card. If you only see BIOS then you need to change the default graphics device (typically to PCIE1). If you don't see shit then remove and replace the GPU, confirm the 6 or 8 pin power connection (depending on GPU model), and call the OEM for support if still out of luck )

    EDIT: So just for perspective with my XFX RX480 8GB reference model: I have two monitors. One is connected through an Active Display Port --> DVI-D adapter --> DVI-D Monitor ( this adapter ) and the other monitor uses an HDMI (male) to DVI-D Male cable. If you are trying to use VGA, you would be best off spending money on a new monitor/tv. The tech to convert analog/digital signals is overpriced and full of issues.

It's been about 8 years since I last had this issue (at the time was a 1440p 60fps screen but same issue fundamentally) so really not sure what about these days, back then the adapter ran at around £150 so I ended up not bothering selling the screen on and buying a new one with native DP.

Wish I could be more help but I would be very surprised if that isn't the issue your facing.

something like https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-DisplayPort-DVI-Adapter-1920x1200/dp/B00A493CNY?th=1

u/Thatisdifficult · 2 pointsr/AMDHelp

Yes it does support 144Hz. Here is such a monitor.

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-G2460PF-1920x1080-Adjustable-DisplayPort/dp/B01BV1XBEI

It even supports 240Hz as well. Here is such a monitor, which also happens to be the deal of the day.

I went with this:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XFT7DF9/ref=od_aui_detailpages02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​

It's pretty great so far. Had to change the frequency in the bios, however. Initially only read at 2400MHz.

u/yodatrust · 1 pointr/AMDHelp

Imo don't use stock cooler, especially when you want to OC.

Make sure if you buy 1 it's AM4 compatible.

Best price/quality comes with the Evo 212 (using it myself on my 1700x):

https://www.amazon.de/Cooler-Master-Hyper-CPU-Kühler-RR-212E-16PK-R1/dp/B0068OI7T8

Edit: (Didn't know it was the German Amazon..)

u/THAT0NEASSHOLE · 2 pointsr/AMDHelp

You could try something like this. I think an RMA through sapphire is your best bet since an adapter isn't guaranteed to work once or any time after that.

u/TraumaMonkey · 2 pointsr/AMDHelp

It's an expensive option. Active adapters cost about $100 on Amazon.com. The reviews aren't exactly very positive, either. Amazon's search engine doesn't differentiate between single link and dual link adapters, so you need to beware when you look for one, as you need the active dual-link adapter to support 144Hz.

For another $100, you could get a new 144Hz monitor that has a Displayport input and not have to deal with the hassle of using a converter. https://www.amazon.com/AOC-G2460PF-24-Inch-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B01BV1XBEI/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1482418847&sr=1-5&keywords=144hz+monitor

That monitor even has Freesync.

u/Almutahir · 2 pointsr/AMDHelp

First one out of my head https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CX600-Supply-Bronze-Certified/dp/B0092ML0OC

You might find more interesting options as well.

u/Bals2oo8 · 2 pointsr/AMDHelp

You need the proper cable... HDMI 2.0, but you need at least a version 1.4 cable to support 4k. 2.0 for 4k with HDR

u/Fugiocent · 2 pointsr/AMDHelp

Are you talking about something like this?

Are you sure that this is even a problem? I thought that backplates were supposed to prevent significant GPU sag.

u/peter_nixeus · 1 pointr/AMDHelp

Another way is to get a Colorimeter to calibrate/measure 8bit or 10bit color to ensure they are accurate. Which is what most graphic designer/print work professionals use:

u/Rygerts · 1 pointr/AMDHelp

I'd say this is the least you should aim for: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FLMKNE0/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1452116225&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=amd+r9+280X&dpPl=1&dpID=414vkYjXqzL&ref=plSrch. It's just slightly over your budget but buying anything cheaper isn't worth it. It's old but it outperforms the R9 380 and run on par with the R9 380X. It might be a bit loud though. But if you want to maximize performance at your price level you should look into a 280X, just make sure that it isn't too loud for your taste.

Edit: I'm rarely one who recommends waiting for newer generations of cards, but Nvidia's and AMD's new architectures are coming later this year so buying a new (and old if you buy the 280X) card might feel like a waste when the new cards finally arrive. You should weigh the pro's and con's.

u/-El_Chapo- · 1 pointr/AMDHelp

I had this exact problem and I picked up this one from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDT0072?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

This adapter is also Eyefinity compatible.

u/chadorjefforjane · 1 pointr/AMDHelp

I have tried a couple. I have a few HDMI cables and one displayport to HDMI. This is the HDMI cable I'm currently using: https://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Cable-6ft-Connectors-PlayStation/dp/B00NQ9OQU2

u/JordanTheToaster · 1 pointr/AMDHelp

Just look at your QVL list and google the names of any that are 3200 and 8GB in size and it'll work that's all I did for my 2600 to get 3200 working. This is on your QVL list at 3200.

u/DoombotBL · 4 pointsr/AMDHelp

3600 CL16 if possible, and dual channel is your only option AFAIK

AM4 doesn't support quad channel IIRC

u/CJ_Guns · 1 pointr/AMDHelp

Crap, I woulda given you a 6950 if I had seen this a couple days ago. Putting my two old ones in a build for my dad hahah

You can definitely find an equivalent for cheap though. Find the 6850 on a benchmark site and then see how it compares to new cards that are on the lower end of the spectrum (and thus cheaper).

This R7 360 would give you similar performance to an overclocked 6850, based on Passmark bench score.

u/jt31636 · 1 pointr/AMDHelp

Yeah. My PC locked up after about 10 minutes. I dialed everything back. I have a Corsair H75 Liquid Cooler: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FZHWFEW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I pulled my clock to 4.0 and my voltage to 1.35 (I was at 1.4). Everything ran sub 60 degrees in my stress test, and I was gaming last night at temps under 50.

Where do I go from here? Should I try to get a little more clock speed without bumping up voltage?

u/canned_pho · 1 pointr/AMDHelp

Basically what other have said, check the cpu cooler mounting.

>b450M pro-m2

Please buy these:

https://www.amazon.com/Enzotech-Mosfet-Passive-Copper-10-pack/dp/B004CLDIHK

Your motherboard has zero VRM heatsinks. IDK how dangerous that is, but you are probably reducing the life of your motherboard, and your CPU will throttle because the mosfets on your motherboard will run very hot without heatsinks with a 2700x.

I find it scary that the 2700x is pushing 1.45v(albeit briefly) through a motherboard with 0 heatsinks.

Clean surfaces(including the copper heatsink surface) with alcohol 91% before installing the copper heatsinks.

The 3m thermal tape is basically permanent if everything is cleaned and pressure is applied for 30 seconds for each heatsink properly.

>Static Shear test of holding
>3M test method: 500g @ 70°C using 1 in^2

>PASS

You can see the thermal tape held 500g(about 1 pound) of weight for a WEEK and did not fail.


u/RenesisRotary624 · 1 pointr/AMDHelp

I don't know what system you have, and there are many things that I could drill down.

You could try the edit that OP had tried where he was running one stick at a time and eventually found out that he had one bad stick of RAM.

If your motherboard has a POST code display, that would help a lot or if it has error LED's (like for example, my ye olde Sabertooth 990FX has BOOT, VGA, and Memory error LEDs). Not as elegant as my wife's X470 Taichi....but it gives me a rough estimate of what I need to look for.

Another thing you could try is to turn off UEFI and go into CSM Legacy Mode which sometimes does work with hardware that doesn't seem to play well with each other.

Something that sounds similar to what you are seeing now happened to me with my system. Come to find out that the ASMedia e-SATA chipset was activated in BIOS and prevented my system from booting in UEFI mode and was slow to boot in CSM UEFI/Legacy hybrid mode. In the end, I turned around and bought one of these things, went into BIOS, disabled the ASMedia 1061 e-SATA, went to AMD sata ports to turn the last two SATA ports to e-SATA, and everything works fine.

Maybe try to run as minimal as you can.
Processor, one stick of RAM, your GPU.. and just only that - no hard drive either.

If you get past post and it leaves you with "no system disk". You have an idea that it might have to do with your boot drive. You'll find out if you reconnect it, and you are stuck there. (It also might be UEFI related - you could try running Boot in Legacy in the CSM menu)

If it still hangs, it might be the GPU. First, try Legacy Mode in the CSM options (usually found in the "Boot" section of the BIOS) for PCI/PEG. If that doesn't help, you might have to try different GPU

u/Forgot-My-Name_again · 2 pointsr/AMDHelp

I have done some multigpu stuff, but in Linux, not windows. The first thing I can say is that you DO NOT WANT TWO GPU SOFTWARE SYSTEMS. In fact, I would disable all of the ride along software from both vendors.

  1. Use DDU to uninstall ALL vendor display software.

  2. Install the drivers for one video card and ONLY the drivers ( No Play.TV, no GeForce Experience, No Raptr, etc. Only install the drivers, none of the fancy additions.).

  3. Install ONLY the drivers for the second video card. Again, ONLY install the drivers, no enhancement software.

    Anything that tweaks settings automatically is bad. Even then, this is not a guaranteed fix. The problem is that you are doing something interesting, and the tools provided by your hardware vendors are not meant for interesting setups. They are meant to make out of the box uses work. When you stick two cards in from two vendors, you need to take all of the functions that would be handled by the nice little package, and do it yourself because your situation is now unique. I hope the purge and drivers only install works for you. If not feel free to shoot me a message and we can dig deeper into what the exact problem is, but be prepared for it to get hairy. Interesting setups take work to understand and maintain, but you can learn a TON doing it.

    Alternatively, if that doesn't sound like your cup of tea, buy this and use one video card.
