Hello there I bought a new GPU - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-093-HS R9 270X card. The problem is the card seem not to be working, the fan is not spinning after power up. Yes, I plugged the cable from PSU to GPU.
I am very affraid the card may be faulty? I hope not though, but what may be the problem then? Compatibility?

MB: ASUS M4A785T-M
PSU: Fortron FSP500-60GHN 500W 80 Plus

Thank you hope you can help.

Attempt to upgrade your bios. It's likely to be the case.

Also make sure your ram isn't faulty, check by usin your integrated GPU and 1 ram stick, change the dimm slot if it doesn't work with one slot.

However, I'm sure a bios update should do the trick.

Check your mobo manual on how to flash your bios.

Good luck!

Okay progress i managed to plug the card more properly i guess, somehow the fan is now spinning but the problem now is that starts for 3-5 seconds and then suddenly stops. i believe all the cables are plugged properly. any ideas?
