Hp (h8-1010) when I install pcs R9-270x and boot black screen...uninstall stock gpu driver.
is this mobo compatible? bios is updated to the latest thru HP site!

Your graphics card should have these two connectors:

Are they plugged? I dont think that the PSU that came with that PC even has one of those connectors.

I don't have this exact model but I do have the (2) pci-6 pin connectors plugged..My psu is the corsair 600m which has these outputs
and they are plugged in...My card is the power color (PCS R9-270x) smaller unit (dual fan).

So, you turn on the PC, can you see the BIOS splash screen? Are you connecting the monitor in the GPU or in the motherboard?

to the gpu.

more info...sorry hit enter a little to soon.. I turn the the PC and nothing on the monitor...(Black)

Plug the monitor into the motherboard and get into the BIOS, look there if you can set the main video output through the PCI express card.

O.K. I hooked up monitor to motherboard...heard audio as splash screen came up but still black screen...removed VGA cable and hooked back up to
current graphic card...(monitor works...) should I uninstall current graphic driver (AMD Radeon HD 6450), hook up to mother board, remove card and
try re-boot..??

It is working now? Sounds like you got a bad VGA cable.

I know it's been a while but, my graphics card is now not in my system. I swapped vga cable,no change.
don't know what else to do except upgrade mobo/CPU.. also back on (06/06) (Thanks CPUs Master) you
requested me to get into BIOS..Hate to say this but how do I get into BIOS? Feel a little STUPID!!
