Ok so I have the hpe h8-1220 stock until this point. Recently I bougjt a new 500w psu and an R9 280x to replace the stock geforce gt530. Fx-8100 cpu, I know. 10 gigs 1333 ram, 2tb hdd. My bios is the ami ang_713. The thing is when I install it the way I looked up all over the internet, I get no display. Like the computer is running and I get no POST so that isn't the thing. I can put in my old gpu and it works fine. Pls help. :-(

Did you properly attach the dual 6/8 pin connectors to the end of the card. You may want to try re-seating the connectors to make sure they are connected. Also try re-seating the card itself. Make sure it is firmly into the first PCIe slot. You did completely UNinstall the NVidia driver and install the AMD driver? I would Uninstall the NVidia driver first, boot the system to Windows, make sure everything is fine with the Windows driver, then ( before you try to play any games ) install the newest AMD driver from your desktop. Download it ahead of time, so it is ready to be installed.

Yes everuthing is seated and powered. Uninstalled all nvidia drivers and files. What happens is when I ho ok ip my new gpu all I get is a black screen. No display at all so I can't install any drivers.

The 20/24 is firmly in. The four prong cpu plug is in. The 6 and 8 pins are plugged into gpu and it is properly seated. Being said it doesn't seem to work on my brother's rig either which has a cx 750. I RMA'd the first one they sent me so I'm assuming that it must be something to do with the bios.
