Have you reset the BIOS? You can give that a try, and/or reset the battery in the motherboard. I recall an issue I worked out with a friend. His Radeon 280 card wasn't putting out a display, but the fans were active. He had to jump his motherboard, and the card worked again.

i just blind flashed the card and hope for the best, it worked, back up and running now :D its quite easy, just used the usb i used for the first flash (i made a bios backup) and just typed atiflash -f -p 0 backup.rom (name of rom) and left it for a good 10 mins and switched pc off via power button and pressed it again to boot back up, and it worked :D
