Going nuts trying to get this thing to work.
CPU: HP Pavilion HPE h8-1012c
RAM: 8GB
Motherboard: Carmel
PSU: Cooler Master 625 watt
Op Sys: Windows 7
Upgrading from a Radeon AMD 6570. Deleted all old drivers and such from this one. Updated BIOS at HP. Installed drivers for the R9 270X. Popped card in and nothing? Only a black screen.

If this doesn't work just try the card in another system and see how that goes (keep in mind you don't need to install the drivers to get a image). It's possible you might of corrupted your PCI-e slot on your motherboard whilst removing it.

If it doesn't work its most likely a faulty card.
