Okay, so I just got this great graphics card from Best Buy last night, it's a Radeon R9 200 Series? Well, I seated it, installed all of the drivers and everything, and it was working great. (I have it plugged in with an HDMI Cable from my computer to my tv) Then I thought, "Hey, my fans aren't working.." So I figured they weren't plugged in right, Me being me, I opened the case and started to try and find any possible solutions to this. I did NOT mess with the graphics card at all and tried to minimize all touching of any components, so I pretty positive I didn't unplug anything. So I put my case back together and turned it on thinking I fixed the fan problem, the fan didn't run(No change) AND my tv said no signal. The only way I am typing this is with my integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics. D: Can someone please help me?? Thanks in advance!
 
Solution
I just did some research on this are you running a 500 w or bigger power supply as they are telling me this is what is recommended to run if you use this card .
try unplugging your case fans again and see if your graphics card works then
as this is a proses of elimination
and if they work then I would be looking at power supply
if not we will be looking at some thing else (let me know if this solves it or not)

Well, I definitely would but my pup chewed up my VGA Cable the other day and I haven't had a chance to get another one. It was working fine until I tried plugging my fans in. And I didn't unplug anything. Do you think it could possibly be a driver update or something?

you said you ran the driver disc right ?
was it the fans on the graphics card that were not running or all your fans?
and can you tell me what the graphics card is and how many watts it is using
as this may be a power supply problem

I seated the Graphics Card, put the disk in and ran it, it said everything was completed successfully, I plugged HDMI Cable into the Graphics Card Input and it worked great. Then I noticed that my case fans were not working(They hadn't been working prior to me buying the Graphics Card) so I took the side panel off and looked at a few things, checked the fan out and stuff. Then I put the side panel back on, turned my computer back on and it just wouldn't work. So Disk Driver, that being the instillation disk that came with the card, correct? And I am not quite sure how to check the wattage, I am a bit new to all of this, sorry for the lack of experience.
