Just got my new Toxic R9 270x, and it's not displaying. I've just tried my old GTX 650 and the motherboard's (ATI) IGP and those both work fine. I've got catalyst installed as well if it matters. Now get ready to cringe: I'm running on a 430 watt PSU. HOWEVER, I have reason to believe that 430 watts is enough to run this system, and it's a good PSU anyways (Corsair 80+ bronze, 35 (I think) amps on the 12 volt rail) and sort of enough hookups, meaning one 6 pin pci but a molex which I have adapters for that came with the card. I tried both my monitors, and I tried with both molex adapters, and one adapter and the PCI cord, and I tried the adapters on my 650 and they work. The card is currently on, all the lights working, all the fans spinning, but it won't display ANYTHING (won't even post). If this matters, after the first try and reverting to the 650 it said CMOS error or something on the post screen, I powered off and took the battery out and put it back in and reset to default BIOS settings, nothing is working. Please help, I really don't want to wait for a replacement. (Btw, it has a stamp on the backplate that says it passed testing and the pci fingers looked to have been lightly used so I know that at some point it worked).
EDIT: I looked it up and could only see that the card is compatible with V1.0 of the A960M-M3 (my mobo), and I looked at pictures of the V.1 and it looks different (the mounting spots for AM3 heatsinks on mine are white plastic, the V1 is black, and the V1 has a dvi port on the IO, which mine does not).
