Help! R9 270 isn't recognized by computer..now something really bad happened..

[Deleted member 1681809]

So, I thought I did everything. (I probably did something wrong.) Inserted GPU into PCI slot, turned on computer, downloaded drivers, shut off computer, turned on computer again, went into BIOS, turned off Intel graphics, saved and rebooted computer, plugged in HDMI cable from monitor to GPU.

Nothing happened.
I switched the HDMI cable to monitor to computer.
Nothing happened.

My Samsung monitor just kept switching between Analog and HDMI outputs, both with a black screen. Now nothing's showing up in my computer.

Please help...

You didn't need to disable the Intel on-board graphics. Turn off PC, remove GPU, plug hdmi or vga into MB, turn pc on, go into BIOS and activate the Intel graphics, reboot, make sure system goes to desktop, turn off system, install GPU, plug hdmi back into GPU and Moniter, boot to desktop and reinstall drivers for gpu if needed. Try that and see if that helps.

I already tried plugging in HDMI and VGA. Didn't work. I was thinking of resetting CMOS. Is this the reset CMOS button? http://i.imgur.com/uitQs8b.gif

It's fine. I'll just take the battery out and reboot it (then put it back in of course). Hopefully it works!

It worked. Now I'm going to check if I can get the GPU to work.

Thanks for your help!

Np! As long as your getting a display on the GPU I would do a clean install of the graphics drivers.
