Can a z400 12g memory ,CPU Brand: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU W3550 @ 3.07GHz run a AMD Radeon (TM) R9 {msm}390 Series graphic card?
hi everyone for some reason every time I try to run games my z400 shuts down once the game is loaded, i have already replaced power unit and installed fan control and added extra fans to the front of the case, the card worked fine in an old xw8400 but for some reason keeps crashing the workstation when playing games on my Steam list, e.g total war warhammer, it will play the intro clips, cut scenes but shuts down once the game would have loaded up, not just the big games, even budget games, I do have a DVI monitor with this workstation, where before I ran an HD monitor ,any ideas or help I would most grateful for your help cheers all
cheers all

@raskoll , welcome to the forum.
The first thing that you should do is, check to see if there is a BIOS or UEFI in the motherboard. The R9 390 requires UEFI to run properly. HP didn't begin using UEFI in their boards until mid-October, 2012. The only information that I can find on your workstation says it was released in 2010. This tells me that the card is most likely not compatible.
Please click the Thumbs up + button if I have helped you and click Accept as Solution if your problem is solved.

Q: how come the card worked in my older xw8400 then?
A: This is an excellent question to which I have to answer -- I have no explanation. According to all that I know, it shouldn't work. I suggest that you contact the video card manufacturer's Tech Support to see if they can help you get the card to work. They may have a VBIOS update that will help.

You are very welcome, @raskoll!
I like MSI motherboards. I did a tremendous amount of research on video cards. I suggest that you choose a video card manufacturer that you like and contact their Tech Support for help with choosing the best card for your system. They are the experts on their products.
Good luck!
