I recently purchased a new XFX R9 280x graphics card and after I installed it into my computer, when I pressed the power button nothing happens. I have checked all cables and switches on my motherboard and made sure my power supply is on but I have no signs of life. I tried putting my old graphics card in but have the same result. I have also noticed that when I am about to plug in my power cord I hear a slight fizzle, any help would be much appreciated.
