kamransaeed15 · Jan 2, 2014

yesterday i bought new r9 270x but when i plugged in into pcie slot its not giving any display just black screen
i am using gigabyte b85m d3h motherboard which i also purchased yesterday so every thing is new
i am using dvi to hdmi cable so i tried vga cable by using dvi to vga connector then it says no signals
i tried my both cables on builtin graphics and everything is running fine
then i try gp in other pcie slot that runs on x4 speed gpu works normally and everything is running fine playing games normally but this gpu is not working on main pcie x16 slot if i use dvi to hdmi cable it keeps switching from dvi to analog and after few sec just blank screen and my led power light keep blinking and when use vga cable with dvi to vga connector it says no signal
can some one tell me why this is happening i also updated my bios latest catalyst installed

my pc specs are
intel core i5 4430
gigabyte b85m d3h motherboard
gsill ripjaws 4 gb 1600 mhz
thermaltek lite power 600 watts
r9 270x
xigmatek utgard case
samsung s20b300 led with dvi and vga connector
so plz suggest me any solution i am very confused bcz i purchased everything new and having this issue

Have you tried going into your bios when your monitor is connected to integrated graphics and then disabling integrated graphics and then rebooting with your monitor connected to your R9 270x?

If that doesnt work you might have a faulty pci slot. Although I am not an expert so maybe you should wait for a professional to answer

kamransaeed15 · Jan 2, 2014

yes i did this too but still no go
at another forum a guy told me that plug in your gpu and then clear your cmos i did it gpu works but after going to log in screen system hangs and restarted then again same issue
yes the only two possibilities left is either bad slot or bad gpu gpu bought yesterday and motherboard bought last month

yeah...if your gpu works in the 4x pci slot then i would say its your motherboard that is faulty

kamransaeed15 · Jan 2, 2014

as my motherboard is also new so before claiming warrantyi have to check it with another gpu first to find out that if my really that slot is faulty

Live4SK · Jan 2, 2014

thats a good idea, always handy to have old parts lying around

kamransaeed15 · Jan 2, 2014

Yes but currently i dont have anything other to test so i have to take my pc to some one place to check my gpu or motherboard

Live4SK · Jan 2, 2014

oh ok well good luck.. hope everything works out

today i tried another gpu in my x16 slot and it works fine
also i tried installing my gpu in x16 slot and took display from built in gpu to see if gpu is detected in os or not and i see in gpuz that its detecting my gpu
so what u say about this

you may need to update your bios.

kamransaeed15 · Jan 8, 2014

already updated all available bios of my mobo from gigabyte site

corvetteguy1994 · Jan 8, 2014

have you tried the card in another system?

kamransaeed15 · Jan 8, 2014

no bcz no other system available and shopkeeper saying try it in another pc if it didnt work send it back

kamransaeed15 · Jan 13, 2014

today they checked my gpu and its working fine on other board
now what the hell is problem all other gpu are working on my mobo but not this gpu and this gpu is working on other motherboards but not on my mobo

corvetteguy1994 · Jan 14, 2014

your mobo may just not be compatible.

kamransaeed15 · Feb 27, 2014

i contacted gigabyte technical support and they showed me that same gpu is running on same mobo as mine
so no issue of compatibility
anyway i got my motherboard replaced and they gave me new piece but my gpu also didnt run on its pcie x16 slot so i sent my gpu back and they said they discontinue gigabyte gpus and bring in sapphire so if you want we can give you sapphire r9 270x dual x with full waranty or if you ant to stick with gigabyte then give it to us we will claim its waraanty and it will take upto 3 weeks to bring another so i choose sapphire r9 270x dual x and it will arrive to my place tomorrow i hope now this gpu will run fine

Try to go on bios and change something to Legacy (dont remember what is the other), tryto find it and change. I had this problem beffore when i installed my R9 270x PCS+

kamransaeed15 · Feb 28, 2014

well i tried everything that was possible at that time but no go because gpu had some issue today i got sapphire dual x r9 270x and its running perfect

I have the same problem, but it's with a Sapphire Dual-X R9 270! What's going on here between the R9 270 and the newest Intel mobos? Sapphire R9 270 works just fine in an older Windows 7 machine and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 4GB DDR3 works just fine in the i7 mobo but the Sapphire in the i7 mobo = blank screen.

Hey man,
I have the same motherboard and the same gpu. After some research I think it may just be the B85 Chipset. Did you say that it worked in the other slot smoothly? If so i want to try that because as long as it works im happy. I replaced my gpu thinking it was a bad card. Maybe the b85m-d3h is just not a good motherboard for this card.
