Oh, also, turning on "resizable BAR" (since I have both AMD parts) in the BIOS caused my PC to to have no video output and I had to remove the CMOS battery to reset the BIOS settings. The computer still booted just fine, just, there wasn't video for me to do anything either from the GPU or the onboard HDMI.

Out of curiosity--since I haven't seen it mentioned yet--do you have CSM (Compatibility Support Module) disabled in your BIOS? The problem you're describing after enabling Resizable BAR (the PC appears to boot, but there's no video) appears to be directly related to this. CSM should be disabled if you're attempting to enable Resizable BAR.
