Hi, my old computer had a terrible onboard graphics card, I went out and bought a Gigabyte Radeon R7 260x and a new Corsair 430w power supply, stuck it all in a new casing etc with my old motherboard and CPU as they are still quite decent. Had a bit of trouble initially getting it running at first, tried everything to get a picture on the gfx card and it wouldn't happen. about an hour later I turned it back on and it booted up from the gfx card fine.. even though I had tried nothing different to when I had turned on the other 10,000 times that day. Ran absolutely fine all night, amazing graphics, fps etc.. turned it off when I went to bed, woke up the next day to it wouldn't give any video output again. The onboard graphics card still loads as normal when the video input is attached. Not sure what's happened considering nothing changed at all from when it was working fine last night? Any ideas please?! literally tried everything and I'm starting to run out of ideas!!! nothing logical seems to work!
Radeon R7 260x No video output this morning - working fine last night

yes that still works if I hook it up, if there are no cables connected the monitor reads 'check connection cables' but when the card is plugged in it reads 'no video output' so it is TRYING to boot off of the card but with no video output for some reason

make sure you hooked up the external power to your GPU, i think it needs a 4 pin power connector. also when you hook up your display to your motherboard, in device manager is the GPU detected by your system, and also are the fans running on your GPU when you turn it on?
it's a 6 pin connector, all hooked up. nope when i'm connected to the motherboard on display it shows the nvidia on board graphics card, I uninstalled these drivers and it just shows standard vga display. Doesn't seem to recognise the gpu, yep all the fans are powered up correctly.
It's a R7 260x, It is recommended a 450W but everywhere I've looked tells me my Corsair cx430 is absolutely fine.. And I did have it running sunday night for 12 hours+ absolutely fine, turned it off when I went to bed now I get no output.. it's quite strange!
I will try it on another system when I get home and I will see if anyone has a better psu I could try..
Most likely a silly question but How do I update the BIOS? Also someone mentioned flashing the BIOS.. would that help?

First try other things that I mentioned, if all fails then try to update BIOS. Go to MB's vendor site and look for BIOS update feature, you will find instructions also on how to do it. And look for the "Release Notes" it will state specifically, if a update is necessary or not to run the GPU.
And your GPU is R9 260x and not R7 260x.

Did you solve the problem klewis? I'm having the same issue after bought the same Graphic Card + PSU.
My HW:
- Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H
- NOX NXS750 750w: http://www.amazon.es/NOX-NXS750-unidad-funte-alimentaci...
- Sapphire r7 260x 2GB DDR5 : http://www.amazon.es/dp/B00GI2EZ7I/ref=pe_386191_413844...
- Kingston HyperX blue (2 x 8gb DDR3 1600mhz)
- Intel I7 4770 (3.4GHz)
I've checked:
- Mount all components out of case. SAME PROBLEM.
- Check another PCI port. SAME PROBLEM.
- Try another PSU 500w. SAME PROBLEM.
- No problem with onboard graphics.
Previously i had an 8800gts 640mb and 500w PSU and worked properly.
Any input would be so much appreciated...
Thanks in advance!

I would say that that may be a problem of the card, Your PSU is perfectly all right, I had a friend who had the same problem he RMAd the card and got a new one its working fine since then, R9 cards do have problems I too have an asus R9 280x direct CU II top i had severe artifacting problems, I RMAd the card and got a new one as replacement and now it runs like cake no artifacting, perfectly stable

He has a R7 260x, but either way, it does sound like it might need to be RMA'ed, Have you uninstalled old drivers before installing the new ones?

Pardon me but the new R series cards that AMD have been manufacturing now to have problems so I would say before buying one do thoroughly read the reviews and also their problems because you never know, and you wouldn't want to spend so much and get a defective card

You seem like a person who does handle computers nicely, I would say check out the internet for people having the same type of problems then you will know even better

You might want to just make sure that the video priority in your motherboard's BIOS settings at set to the pcie.
Just something to look at before you go ahead and RMA it. =]

kevshow :
I re-checked, but video priority set to PCI Express Slot 1 
It's smells like DOA GPU right?

i am sorry if this question has already been answered, but have you tried another GPU in the same pcie slot? (I mean since you have been trying the new card)

I'm helping another guy with a r7 260x and in helping him and looking around for something to help him out it seems to be a common issue on this and a lot of sites and forums with this same kind of thing.. I wonder if there is some kind of compatibly issue with older boards or uefi bios bug.. just don't know ..

Well, I contacted my cousin brother who is the distributor of both asus and sapphire cards over here.
He said that the R series cards do have problems specially the R7 260x , the R9 280x, and R9 280x toxic editions. He has taken back and replaced around 20 such cards and also he has stopped further consignments of the cards of these variants. He is a reputable distributor and so the others are following him too...so i guess u gotta RMA the card
