Installed R7 260X and now no signal on monitor

[nuclearrambo]

I just installed the new R7 260X and I get no signal on the monitor.
Yes I plugged in the powe connector.
The PCIe slot is also fine because I tried installed old AMD 4350 and it worked.
The thing is I cannot even go into Bios when I plug in R7 260X, so I cannot do anything. I have a 500W PSU which is working great, so I doubt it is the PSU thats causing problems.
Really need to get this thing working 🙁 HELP

What make/model is the PSU and how old is it? Do you only have one monitor?

The only thing that is left is the new card itself. I think it is DOA just to be sure try it in another system. Also what is the make and model of the power supply?

 

[nuclearrambo]

I have a FSP bluestorm II 500W PSU. I hope that is not a problem.

That psu got a good review from Johnny so does sound like maybe a bad card.

Damn, I guess I will just get a replacement.
The card had lot of finger prints on the PCB when I first opened it.

Do you mean to say that all those 40 minutes your screen was black? Were you able to even see the BIOS at start? Let me know, I might just try that and see if it works out.

 

[Coolboy951]

yeah for 40 minutes my monitor said no signal and than after that 40 minutes it started working

 

[J_E_D_70]

^ that's not normal...

 

[Coolboy951]

actually it is because sometimes your motherboard need to process and try to find the appropriate drivers within for gpu to work this has happend to my friend before where his took about 25 mins

Kept the PC on with the new GPU installed waiting for the thing to boot up and show something on the screen. But nothing. I guess its really DOA and needs a replacement.

 

[Coolboy951]

okay umm do you have an older card right now, because i have one more trick in the basket.

 

[goku1234567890]

The card is bad RMA it. And that 40 minutes that took your card to be recognized is due to the BIOS error in motherboard that is not a trick.

Update: What are total system specs? It seems like that your power supply is dual rail. And the rail that supports processor and graphic card have only 18 amperes.

i really do not wanna touch my motherboard bios because im not that good with bios

Motherboard: Intel H61 (dont know the exact model)
4GB RAM
500GB + 250GB HDD

Thats about it. Anything more you need to know?

EDIT: I checked the voltage rails with my multimeter and it shows 12.05V, so it does not look like the card is overloading the PSU if I am not wrong.

@Coolboy, yes I do have an old card here and it works.

[Coolboy951]

hey whenever your ready just pm me

 

[nuclearrambo]

My replacement gpu comes tomorrow. Hoping that it works or else i would be really pissed. Coolboy i have sent you a pm although I'm off to sleep now.

 

[nuclearrambo]

Nearly 3 cards that I replaced were DOA. So gave back the R7 260X and bought a GTX 750Ti instead. Works awesome.

The feeling is mutual 😛
