870 extreme3 r2.0 new video card no post

   Hello to the ASRock Community!

I have a problem that I'm hoping someone might have a solution to. I 
recently installed a Sapphire Nitro R7 370 4Gb video card onto an 870 Extreme3 R2.0 motherboard running the V1.80 BIOS, running an AMD Phenom II x6 
processor.

The problem is that when I try to boot up the computer with the Nitro R7 
installed, the fans spin up, but there is no POST and no indication that
 the computer is trying to boot. 

The GPU that was installed in 
the computer up until a short while ago (and is back in there right now)
 is an HD6570. That card is working fine with the motherboard, so I 
don't think its a MB issue. As for the Nitro R7, that card ran fine on a old Compaq board, so the 
video card is fine. 

I had the BIOS V1.30 and updated  to V1.80, but no luck

Thanks in advance
