Hello Support Community!
I build a PC, based on the "11 Watt-PC" Articles in the german c't-Magazine.
To have more Graphicpower than the buildin Intel 4600HD Gerphics, I added an MSI Radeon R9 270X Gaming G2 Graphiccard.
After the Assambly of the whole system I run into the following problem:
The used DH87RL Mainboard: DH87RL AAG74240-403
The BIOS Version in the beginning (01. Dec 13) was the 0320.
At first I build the PC without the extra Graphics - everything worked fine (Win7prof 64-bit newest Drivers).
I inserted and connected the MSI Radeon: no change - internal graphics still active (in BIOS graphic in auto mode) - the BIOS said for the PCIe x16 "slot not populated".
Updating to Bios Version 0322 did change anything.
Through advices at the german heise-forum I tried different ways to get the graphic activated: disabling all onboard stuff (lan, audio, tpm, etc.), disabling powersafe mechanism of PCIe (ASPM) which helped other users at this point.
Even removing the battery didn't help - still "slot not populated".
Then the newest bios 0323 arrived - my hope raised again.
I removed the working GeForce GTS450 - made the update with the internal graphic. I disabled again all the above mentioned things and rebooted. Then I installed the MSI Radeon. This time i got 2 beeps - short pause - again 2 beeps. Thats it. No signal on the Radeon nor on the integrated graphic.
This means, with the newest BIOS 0323, the Board recognises "something". But i got still no signal on monitor, no boot.
I hope some of you can help me at this point, or have some new ideas?
Thanks for your help!
Andy
