Best graphics card for dell Inspiron 620 with a 500w psu!

[jojomojo]

I have a evga 80+ 500w power supply
Intel i5 2310
1 tb storage
8gb ram

I tried to use a r9 270 but it just black screens and says no display I'll spend another day or 2 trying to fix it but I'm not feeling to optimistic. so what new card preferlly from an r9 200 series or an gtx 700 series would work in my card if anyone has a dell Inspiron and can comfort that the gpu will work that would be great.

Any card should work fine if the R9-270 used to work before and just recently died. But with the 500W Evga, I'd stay in the GTX 760 or R9-280 range.

+GTX970 to that list, its about the same or a bit more W than R9 270

The r9 270 never worked when I tried to boot the computer it said no display I'm probably going to return it and get a 760 also the card has to be 8 inches or less so I will look or a shorten version.

You didn't forget to plug in the aux. PCIe 6 pin cable, or forget to move the video cable from the integrated port to the card, did you? Not trying to be insulting, just covering all bases.

I uninstalled intergrated graphics I plugged hdmi plug into the card and plugged in 6 pin and it didn't work.

Do you have beeper connected to the mobo? If you do and its a GPU (even not power supplied properly) it should start beeping like hell.
If its not even start spinning the fans then its not GPU... its MOBO or PSU.
If it does spin but not turn on then CPU/RAM.

 

[jojomojo]

I have speakers connected

I have speakers connected

So now observe the fans behavior when you press the button.

 

[jojomojo]

The gpu fans spin the cpu fan spins and the case fan spins

 

[jojomojo]

The monitor still says no signal

 

[Ra_V_en]

Do you have any post display on your motherboard like that below, does it hit FF?

We are getting weird situation here and if its spinning the fans but not beeping (with ram fault it also should beep), I'm afraid it might be the CPU

Btw im not talking about speakers connected to the sound card audio out, im talking about PC speaker/buzzer/beeper connected to the motherboard:

I made this video I don't have that type of speaker should I get one.

 

[Ra_V_en]

Impressive job with that video

Are you able to provide some info about the motherboard simply by looking with a flashlight on it as you do on the video
We could try searching for a proper bios update as you suggest, but indeed that beeper should be very helpful... since its very good diagnostic tool.

 

[jojomojo]

Im going to get a beeper tool should I also get a

I'll reply again if I can get anymore motherboard info

 

[Ra_V_en]

I don't think that diagnostic card will be required, at some point when you +- recognize the suspect you will need either a spare part for confirmation or a RMA if we gonna be certain which part is it.

Mobo PCIEX 2.0 vs 3.0 on the GPU incompatibility? It shouldn't practically happen ;/ We need that beeper for more clues.

That gave me another idea...
Did you try connecting with D-SUB cable and integrated GPU? It might be working properly but just main gpu is set to the integrated.
If you would manage to connect to the monitor with the integrated GPU, you could manage to search an option in the bios. Maybe you have to manually set something...
If you would have the beeper at least we would know did it start properly or its pointing to faulty GPU... without it i can only find this hint to be any useful.
