Radeon R9 270x no display

[jbobo]

I just got a radeon r9 270x, I installed: fans work, but I do not get a display at all.
I'm running a HP Pavilion HPE h8-1121 : I just upgraded my psu to a 600w as well.
I tried updating the BIOS but there is not a new updated BIOS.
I have no idea what the issue could be, any help would be greatly appreciated

plenty more where these came from

I have my roommates Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti in my computer right now with no issues what so ever. Is there any way to check and see if the r9 270x is too much for my mobo?

well as you see its a hit or miss or you have to find the trick to make that card work most times it when you go to a higher end card than what hp allows could be a unsupported bios for that card restricted slot power and so on

hp is in business to sell computers not have you upgrade as you want if yopu need a better computer they got a model to sell.

each model has its fix in some way and you got to rely on hp for all support as they want - this is why we do custom builds and leave the walmart computers at walmart

about all is see like at hp forums or where ever you can on your model and see what you can out side of that its all your own risk as I say you buy -- you try-- and hope you don't cry

good luck

that model of yours at hp came with a 6850 ?? I still use that card with out issues ..

also you see here it gives cpu upgrade info and memory but not any for gpu .. whys that??? so just do as you fell is best and keep them fingers crossed

also you see how out dated your support is ?? so if that card needs a bios update to work if it did not on your try your just s.o.l

Yea my 6850 crapped out on me, got toasted.

Yea my mobo doesnt have a BIOS update and just doesn't support my r9 270x.

Looks like I may now have to get a new mobo...

Thanks for all the help!
