R9 290 LED lights, 3 green 1 red.

[kogehame]

So I got my R9 290 4GB yesterday, I put it in my PC, and it didn't work. It has 2 green lights (LED 1 and 3) and a red on LED 2. I read, that a 550W power supply won't be enough, so today I bought an EVGA 750W Gold Plus 80 rated PSU. I put it in, connected with both connectors (8 and 6 pin) and it still doesn't work, it has the same lights. I didn't find anything about the LED lights, or meanings. CNA somebody help? I put it in another system, and had the same problems. Thanks for the help.

Where did you purchase the card at? Seems like it might be a GPU issue.

That guide didn't help at all, I did everything correctly. And I bought it at a PC Parts Store, here in my country.

Are the lights on the GPU or Motherboard? If so, What is your motherboard?

On the GPU, green on LED 1, 2 and 4, and red on LED 3.
MOBO is a Gigabyte 880GMA-USB3 rev 3.1.

The red light is indicating that your GPU isn't getting enough power....It seems that the GPU is just faulty and should be returned .

Here is a list of solutions from the ASUS guide book on no display after the card is installed

Solution Make sure that the card is not tilted or skewed on the slot.

Cause Your monitor might not be properly connected.
Solution Make sure that the signal cable is properly connected to
your monitor and graphics card.

Cause Your graphics card is not supported by your motherboard.
Solution Check the technical documentation that came with your
motherboard and check the required specifications for
your graphics card (e.g. AGP voltage requirement).

Cause The graphics card’s auxiliary power is not connected.
Solution Make sure that the auxiliary power cables are properly
connected with the power supply unit.

Cause Insufficient power supply.
Solution Make sure that your power supply unit can provide the
minimum power requirement to your system.

Cause Incorrect motherboard hardware system settings (e.g.
system control panel connections).
Solutions • Make sure that the system control panel cables are connected properly (e.g. power switch, reset).

DIMMs are in good working condition and are connected properly

Check all of these to see if any of the solutions fix your issue.

None of the above helped me.

OK this does seem like a hardware issue, I have gotten faulty ASUS hardware in the past. You can probably ask ASUS to send you a new one.
