    Just installed an RX480 to replace my R6950 but my monitor stays in power save mode and wont come on. Press in keyboard, mouse or shutting down and restarting does not solve. Fan is on in card so must have power and monitor is picking up digital signal. Any ideas???

    Plug your monitor into the onboard graphics. Its possible you need a bios upgrade to take the card.

    Yup Mobo Bios upgrade is probably needed. Stick the old card back in, or use onboard graphics card and upgrade it.

    Old graphics card reinstalled. Reading back over the thread I think somebody else had a similar problem with a P67 motherboard. Is a bios up grade risky? What the chance of me screwing something up?

    Check the changelog, only do it if its listed to actually solve your problem.

    Asrock board? Some require the bios update to run newer card. What version is your bios?

    Try the "Gen2" setting in your bios aswell for PCI-E.

    Ah I'm getting fierce impatient at this waiting. I've a PC build using onboard for the last 2 weeks. It's useless. I need a decent GPU before next weekend.

    Your board is listed as "1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot (blue @ x16 mode)"

    The bois version is also upto 3.30 for your board and that also lists an update for 2. Improve VGA compatibility. which is what you need so update your bios and youll be sorted.

    Well it should be PCI-Express if you have the card in the PCI-Express port.

    Whn you download that file there is a specific way to run it, hold on I'll find out how now :)

    Take a look at the manual: ftp://europe.asrock.com/Manual/P67 Pro3.pdf

    Chapter 2 is what you want and see how to upgrade your bios in there :)

    I trying to get the file from the ASRock site to work to update my Bios.

    I do see however it says "Please update to the latest BIOS with instant Flash in the UEFI setup if you are using Windows 10"
    Maybe that's my issue??

    Insert the disc you got with the boards and install the Uefi programme and run it from there.

    Thats what I am thinking. There is usually a particular USB port that acts as the bios update port. Place the update onto a usb key and place it in the correct USB port and then try the update from the bios.

    From the motherboard manual.
    SRock Instant Flash

    ASRock Instant Flash is a UEFI flash utility embedded in Flash ROM.
    This convenient UEFI update tool allows you to update system UEFI
    without entering operating systems first like MS-DOS or Windows®.

    Just launch this tool and save the new UEFI file to your USB flash drive, floppy
    disk or hard drive, then you can update your UEFI only in a few clicks
    without preparing an additional floppy diskette or other complicated flash
    utility. Please be noted that the USB flash drive or hard drive must use
    FAT32/16/12 file system.

    If you execute ASRock Instant Flash utility, the
    utility will show the UEFI files and their respective information. Select the
    proper UEFI file to update your UEFI, and reboot your system after UEFI
    update process completes

    Thanks for that. When I launch the instant flash option it does not give me any options like whats mentioned in the manual. I just get a refresh device tab which does nothing

    Your USB drive is probably formatted for NTFS which is not a supported file system for the update within the UEFI
