Initially, I addressed the issue by exchanging my motherboard with a friend. The ASROCK B550 Phantom Gaming 4 doesn't display graphics when paired with a Radeon 7900 GPU tested alongside a 7900xt and 7900xtx. I checked all parts separately and even varied RAM, PSU, and CPU, but no image appeared on the board. I tried a Radeon 590 and Nvidia A4000 on the board, which functioned correctly. With the 7900xt it did boot, visible through status LEDs. I also updated the BIOS as part of troubleshooting step 11.04.23 L2.62. Since this is unfamiliar, I'm curious if anyone knows why this happens or if graphics cards are compatible with certain boards. Warm regards, Chigoma333. P.S.: Sorry if this isn't the right forum.

Compatibility challenges can arise with motherboards, though they are generally uncommon. Early issues included AM5 boards not supporting 4090s chipsets, and I’ve experienced cases where my X570 Master fails to boot with a 1080 Ti unless I use an outdated BIOS version (spent nearly two hours searching before flipping the switch). Usually, adjusting BIOS revisions helps, so test a few options. The latest version doesn’t guarantee optimal performance. If nothing appears after Windows loads, consider installing AMD drivers alongside your RX 590 and ensuring the card is in the correct slot; this can sometimes trigger auto-detection or require manual driver installation due to BIOS misrecognition.

Thanks for the response. I'll explore different BIOS versions and run a Windows test, but it won't be ready until roughly a month from now. The motherboard at my friend's place is the only one available.
