Thats the humble home PC i started with and ive upgraded the PSU to an Antec 650W earth watts green power supply with a 80 plus bronze rating from the previous Cooler Master 500W extreme power supply I've also upgraded the graphics card once before to a HD6670 card and the issue I'm having is with the new VisionTek R9 270X card.
The grand explanation!
I bought this card from the brick and mortar computer part store down the street and brought it home, hooked everything up, attempted to boot the PC and nothing really happened. There is a blue light bar at the top of the tower and that comes on, all the fans come on, but no video, and it doesnt seem to boot. even if i plug the monitor into the onboard graphics card there is still no video. So I went back to the store and they thought it was a PSU issue so I bought a new Antec 650W PSU and tried that. Same thing happened. Went back to the store and they thought it must be a DOA card and swapped it out for me. Brought the new R9 270X home and plugged it in, same thing keeps happening. So to summarize....
-Older PSU, new graphics card, wont boot
-New PSU, new graphics card, wont boot
-New PSU, Second new graphics card, wont boot
-New PSU, second new graphics card in PCI slot but the two 6 pins detached from the R9, boots but video only from onboard graphics card.
-New PSU, Old HD6670 graphics card, still boots and runs perfectly.
Moar specs!
