Horrible Weekend (Still need help) w/ video card

Hey all,

Horrible weekend here, i was doing a build for a friend with a MSI krait gaming z107/i5 6600k/h100i/HX750W/8GB ddr4/R9 390 (Visiontek) and none of it powered up. Right now im testing his PSupply, and videocard with some of my parts. So far the system fires up and so on so the PSupply isnt the problem, yet catalyst is not installing at all. It is completely failing to acknowledge the card, and nothing will display from it either. The fans are spinning at a resonably good speed and 750W should be enough to power this card. At the moment im using the generic drivers on board to get a display going because no displays are firing up from the video card.

Every time i try to install any drivers all it installs is the "amd installer", no catalyst drivers or anything of the sort (when it goes through the "detecting items" section of the install, it fails to find anything at all). Is this the sign of a dead card+mobo/processor? Should i start helping him RMA everything? Thanks

Edit: sorry wrong section, if a mod could move this to rig/set up section or should i repost in the proper thread?

Is your GPU detected at Device Manager?
Did you update your BIOS to the latest version?
The cabels and stuff are done right? Check that again.
