New GPU Installed but doesn't output

[Nuggie]

I recently added a gpu to my apu system but it wont display video or doesn't show up in my bios. The fans are spinning on the gpu aswell.

My GPU Is a sapphire r9 270x and my gpu is an alpine 700w

PSU wattage is fine, but the brand seems to be a cheaper one, are you plenty sure its certified 80+? Do you plugged external PCI-E cables to the GPU?

I don't know if its 80+ certified but I have 2 6pin cables connected to it. Could the psu be the problem

Do you change in BIOS Video Output to PCI-E ? PSU may be the problem, but let's start from the basic.

The gpu doesn't show up in the bios. It only says igp and peg. I cant find pci-e anywhere, my mobo is an msi a88xm-e35

PEG = PCI Express Graphics. Choose it and try to boot.

Still no display from gpu only motherboard

Then, PSU maybe is not able to support it. Do you have any PSU from a friend to test it? or maybe test it in another system?

I was using a dvi to vga adapter and im connecting it to my tv

 

[rgd1101]

Are there 2 dvi port on the gpu? try them both?
did you use just the vga to vga cable before getting 270x?
