PC Specs:
AMD A6-3650 Quad-Core APU 2.6 GHz
Pegatron AAHD2-HY Motherboard
Enermax NAXN 450W PSU
HIS iPower IceQ X² Turbo Radeon R9 270 2GB GDDR5 PCI 3.0 GPU
8GB DDR3 RAM
Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
I've recently purchased the HIS Radeon R9 270 2 GB GDDR5 GPU as a necessary upgrade to my PC, I've deleted my old GPU drivers via Driver Sweeper, Ran the Installation Disc that came alongside the GPU, and shut down my computer. I proceed to remove my old GPU and installed the new one. When I powered it up. . . nothing. Monitors receives no signal, yet the GPU fans spin, along with the CPU and PSU fans. I proceed to follow the series of procedures to determine the issue:
- Removing the new GPU and setting BIOS to disable on-board graphics
- Removing both SDRAM chips from the Motherboard to check for POST beeps
- Unplugging all unnecessary components (USB cables, DVD-ROM, etc.) to check if PSU is under load
- GPU reseating and plugging into both PCIe 6-pin and 6+2 pin PSU connectors
- CMOS restarting / CMOS Battery removal and reseating
- Using included DVI-I Adaptor on old GPU to see if I get a signal
- Testing output ports of the GPU (DVI, HDMI, etc.)
- Checking for any new revisions for MOBO on manufacturer's site
- Tested on secondary PC, GPU is not DOA. Repeat, GPU is NOT DOA
The tests yield no changes to the situation. I currently have a few possible issues
- Faulty DVI to VGA Adaptor
- Incompatible MOBO
Any possible solutions, oversights, incompatibilities, or errors please report.
