I recently built my first Budget gaming PC.
I put everything together and It worked great for one week,
but I did a bios restart. (PC didn't boot up properly, now fixed)
and the GPU doesn't get detected by my system anymore.
I had this problem earlier, but fixed it by just updating the drivers, and disabling Intel graphics in the BIOS. but if i disable them now, my computer won't boot up.. (fans spinning and stuff, but no short beep and no display)

My system's specs:
➤ CPU: intel core i5 4670 (non k)
➤ GPU: MSI R9 270x gaming 2gb
➤ RAM: G.Skill 8 GB DDR3-1600
➤ Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85M-HD3
➤ HDD: Western Digital Blue 500 GB 7200rpm
➤ Case: Sharkoon vaya II
➤ PSU: Cooler Master B500


Can anyone help me with this problem?? - Sorry if I misspelled words, i ain't English

:) hehe happened to me too. There's a lot of little transistors to break hehe, somethings likely to go wrong if you ask me.


First go to device manager and see if it comes up.
I assume you are using windows 7.
If not, what OS?
Try to take out the card and remove dust gently with compressed air. replace firmly into the pci-e slot.
 


I am indeed using windows 7, here is my device manager: http://gyazo.com/e22ba4a62a2c2e727f87efd9d1d9d148

Also, i have my DVI cable in my mobo, not my gpu, that's because my gpu doesn't give any output.
I don't know if that's any useful information though.

I did re-insert the gpu, but without any luck.

I decided to bring it back to the store where I bought the parts, they are gonna run some tests.
And I hope it will get fixed, sorry if I ruined your time.
 


Not at all! I'm here because I like helping people :) If you need anything else, just ask
Also note i'm suspecting a hardware fault, possibly in the motherboard's pci-e slot. The gpu should be under display adapters below the intel hd.

A silly thing, but did you make sure you plugged it in to the power supply? :) (just making sure hehe)
