I shut down my Windows Server 2012, installed the card, and it will not boot up now. Windows says your PC ran into a problem and has to restart??

Hi Elizabeth,Make sure that you have inserted card into a PCI-Express V2.0 x2 Interface! or x4, x8, x16 slots.You can't boot directly to this card unless you reinstall the OS. If that is not the case adjust boot priority appropriately, and Check for motherboard BIOS update.Try testing card on another slot or another computer.

I had to return the first card I recieved. The 2nd worked fine. Could be faulty. You're not moving your boot drive are you?

I think my computer said that to me when mine (my memory card) went bad. This is why I purchased this item in the first place. I think I pulled one stick out and then the other - and it booted up when I did that. It was a few years ago though, so I might no be remembering right.

Had no problems loading driver on my Linux server or my windows server. There should be a Mac driver for it. Check the factory website for a driver update. I bought another one from Microcenter and had to do that

we never got it running= the power supply kept beeping... I thought we had an issue with the onboard graphics and trying to disable it. we bought a new 550 watt cooler master power supply- the card has its own power connector (in addition to anything it may draw from the bus), most all current supplies will have the proper cord included. So all in all, this HP would not work with the card and a new supply yet it still did not work. This was an HP and they have proprietary BIOS.... We could not really defeat it. We gave up doing this with the HP, bought an ASUS motherboard and an unlocked AMD 8 core CPU, built a rig with spare parts and the coolermaster power supply, and it all rocked just fine. we never got it running= the power supply kept beeping...

Re-seat the card and make sure that the power you connect to it is good. If you can't get good results, try in another computer (if you can) or send it back as defective.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. I have just checked on ati's website and the last OS they provide drivers for on this card is Windows Vista. Unfortunately I cannot find any drivers for windows 7. You may look to see if other people are using some third party software to make it work. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know. Sincerely, Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

Yes, otherwise the card won't be seen by the OS when you start up. The card has worked flawlessly for me (Win8.1 Pro x64), and the drivers are recent from the company website.

Mine picked it up right away. Don't know if the drivers came from a windows update, but it really doesn't matter. It don't work now.

Excellent question. My experience with Windows Servers in the past is that upgrading from an installed server should work, but I would image the server (back it up so you can do a full restore if necessary) and then try the upgrade. The other problem I have had with in-place upgrades is that they sometimes leave messes behind that can be difficult to sort out. When it comes to servers I have generally always done a clean install - a little more time consuming but much cleaner. Just make sure you have a good backup of everything before you start. If you have a program that can create an image of the server - even better. Good luck and let me know how it comes out.

1) did you make sure the heat sink was applied properly? what kind of temps are you getting @ bios when you reboot.2) power supply: how old? what kind of wattage?3) Have you tried doing any other intensive tasks like gaming or running a test app like SuperPi? Does it shut down then?

You can just make sure you uninstall the drivers for it while it is still plugged in. Once they're uninstalled remove the old card and add the new one. Install the new drivers that come with the card and you should be all good. I had issues with the drivers on the cd not matching the card so if all else fails just grab the newest driver online.Enjoy :D (R9 290 is a great card)

Server 2012 /2012R@ drivers are listed at http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/series_rr600-download.htm I believe I used this on a Server 2012 Storage Server build with no issues. It does NOT work well with some UEFI BIOSes, so that may be an issue for you. The first board I used was a UEFI and I could not select this card as a boot device. Hope this helps, and good luck.

I'm actually having issues... I'm not sure if its the MB for the hard drive. After installing the OS and updating Windows crashes and won't boot up. It gets stuck on the update screen and won't change.

I left my sad attached to the SATA II port, installed the IO Crest card, and then started up windows 7...it detected the card and I installed the drivers. Shut down the system and moved my SSD to the SATAIII port. When rebooting go into the bios and double check that your boot drive is still correctly set. Mine changed, probably because I have multiple drives. After making sure the correct drive is set as the boot drive, win7 came up fine.
