Hey everyone,

I just got an R7 260x and I get no response after installing it. Not even a bios setup. My PSU is a corsair cx430. I have changed the bios for the PCI-E option and the 6 pin power cable is connected. My mobo is the A88XI and the bios is updated. The r7 260x is compatible with this bios and mobo. Still, no image what so ever. I know the cx 430 is not the ideal psu but I have read in multiple places that it could handle this GPU. Please help.

CPU: A10-7850k
 
Thank you guys for your reply. It is connected in to the GPU and I confirmed that the gpu is locked into place. One peculiar thing that happens is that the cards cooler starts up, then stops and starts up again. Is this normal?
 


Does it keep doing that or only when you start your computer?

Have you tried starting the computer without the card?
 


Only when it starts, then it is normal. Yes, without the card the computer runs fine with the vga on the mobo.
 

Some cards spin backwards to remove some dust.

 


if its only when the card is pluged in then i would suggest you rma it and get a new one
 


Thank you for your reply. What is rma?
