So i've got 2 rigs and 8 cards all duplicates r9 280x , hd 7970, hd7950
my his R9 280X decides nope its not going to post and both rigs will refuse to recoginse the card
regardless of what pcie slot i use. All the other cards work fine, i go through the motions with drivers ect... no luck change to hdmi dvi no luck so i rma the card to overclockers and to my surprise they send it back saying nothing wrong with the card its working, so I go through the whole process again and guess what still no luck no post with the card both rigs refuse to recognise the card even with different drivers, so I spend more money and Rma it again and its just been returned again with a letter saying no nothing wrong with the card????
I mean am i missing something no post yet 7 other cards work on 2 different mobo's and memmory dimms except for this one card whihc is onlyu 2 months old, surley you would think heck this guys spent a bucket load of cash he probably will spend more lets just replace the card for him since he's not asking for money back just a working card or hell even send it back to his and get them to replace it, but no they want me to rma it again to what have them send it back to me again and say there's nothing wrong, either there's a complete noob on the tech team or they're not bothering to check the card properly either way i'm down £60 in courier fees alone what the hell can i do here i reckon i'm being treated like a mug and all over the xmas period as w ell??? Anyone?

Update your motherboard bios. Make sure you have adequate power - recommended to have 750W PSU with 150W available on 2x 8pin PCIE connectors. Just my two cents but since it was working before, this may indicate that your PSU is dying (on the rig it was initially installed and insufficient on the rig you tested it on).
