I've looked into this issue already on various forums and tried all of the suggested steps. None have worked so far. So please give me your take.
My pc
AMD A8-5500 3.2ghz
800gb HD
6gb ram
R7 250 2GB GPU
500w supply
All worked wonderfully but I wanted a faster card. I bought the r7 260x and installed it correctly, making sure everything was clipped in and that the six pin pci supply was in the card. I used the dvi to vga adapter to run a cable from the card to my vga slot in the monitor. When I turned the pc on, everything started OK but the monitor remained in standby mode. (dark screen, flashing monitor light). The card fans were running.
I tried changing the source on the monitor but no luck. I readjusted all cables but no luck. I went and bought an hdmi to dvi cable and connected it between my card (hdmi) and monitor (dvi) but you guessed it, same problem.
Then I removed the card, connected the hdmi to dvi from the other hdmi port on my pc and the computer display turned on fine after restarting. Although I was without a gpu other than the integrated one. So I then disabled the built in gpu, made sure my bios gave priority to pci display adapters and turned the pc off. I restarted with the radeon r7 260x installed again and same problem.
This morning I tried to turn my pc on and it wouldn't turn on. I removed the radeon r7 260x and it turned on after several tries. All worked fine. I shut down and placed radeon r7 260x back in, connected it to the monitor and the entire system is dead. The motherboard light is lit, but the pc won't turn on with the card connected to its slot.
What is going on? I went from a radeon r250 to a slightly more expensive card. The wattage requirements are higher, yes but my psu is 500w with only one HD, one cpu and two sticks of ram. Given that the psu works with the card a few hours ago, why won't it today? Psu is not burned out cause it will work without the card. Also, I could see the cpu fan move an inch when my pc was trying to start but that only happened with the radeon r7 260x was removed and as I said eventually, it did power up.
I suspect a bad card how about you?
