So you run it now on Gen1 or what? Which is the slowest possible option for it?
Thought I would let you know, I had exactly the same problem a while back with my HD7950, for some reason I had to boot like bazillion times to get it to boot properly, I selected Gen1 like you and it worked like a charm for some reason.
But for the love of god I can't remember what was the cause of it
I will try to think of it and update here when I finaly remember wtf was causing it.
EDIT: HAHA I REMEMBERED!
I had overclockusing multiplier AND bus speed, that was the reason it didn't boot properly for me. I had something like 50x102 back then. I switched to 51x100 and the problem was gone instantly, as the bus speed affects the PCI-E bus aswell and my second HD7950 didn't like the increased speeds for some reason.
As I've said - I was waiting for a new rig myself. Everything new except for RAM and HDD. I've build everything as I should and my HDD seems dead - tries to start, scratches/tickes a few times and is not recognised by BIOS. Tried different positions - once it worked for a moment.
Now the wierd part - back to old PC - no problems. New PC with HDD in same position - nothing. Back again - no problems. WTF?
Update - after some reading I've found out that it is a...software bug in HDD firmware, originating around the times of P67 chipsets. Apparently, newer ones are in conflict too, flashing the HDD firmware solves the problem. I'd never thought of that by the sounds it was making before - like it was stuck at something.
