So i recently bought a AMD FX 8320 procressor and a new r9 290 and the problems ive been having are very strange. To start, my pc will only run on its side, if it is standing up right it will bot turn on. Even if i atart the computer on its side and slowly turn it up right, it will ahut down tge second it hits the ground. To go with that, most of the time when i start up the computer it gives no visual and my cpu fan spins really slowly or not at all. The times when the pc and does funtion properly the cu fan starts spinning slowly then speeds up to normal speed. When i tried the old graphics alcard i had it all work perfectly but ince the new one came in these problems started. On a chance of luck i was able to have my computer running for me to install the new drivers for my card and actuallynplay some games really well. After a while it sounded like my computer was over heating and it felt way too hot. Out of fear i deccided to turn of the computer and try to turn it up right but no luck.

So im stuck here now with a pc that will only start some times on its side and cannot run right side up. What could possibly be the problem?

Thank you
 


Ive replugged everything multiple times. Could it be a faulty power supply? I have had it for 5 years.
