Im almost certain if it isnt a bad pci-e slot it might be a bad card
I would also like to think the bugs and kinks are still being ironed out with these card
some gaming platforms doesnt even reconize them yet i always get a message from steam about the new hd6870
They always want information but still havnt updated my card in thiere data base
If nothing is resolved with the previous i would probally return the card and go for a lower model and save some cash
I also would like to point out you did good with a hd series card
maybe your mobo is picky time will tell also alot of post features should be turned off espcecially if you have no need for them like the count down you speak of seems to be more a eyesore then a helper
