My newly built PC is not showing any video signal when my MSI R9 270x is in my motherboard's PCIe slot.

My components are:
Intel i5 4460
MSI Z97 PC Mate
MSI R9 270x
Corsair CX500

I was re-installing some drivers for my PC as I had to re-install Windows due to a separate problem, then left my PC on for about 20 minutes when I left the room. When I got back, my monitor showed no image. When I tried removing the graphics card and just using the onboard video, I was able to get a normal image on my monitor. However, as soon as I put the video card back in there was no image on the monitor, even when I plugged in my VGA cable directly into the mobo.

Is my video card dead? I bought it open box, but it was working for about a week with no problems until it suddenly did this.

I just tried my motherboard's other PCIe slot and had the same result. I don't have any other video cards I could try, unfortunately.
