I just bought a radeon hd7870 to upgrade from the hd5770.
My motherboard is p67 h2-a3 with a 650w psu.
After adjusting the bios many times and trying safe mode boot I'm starting to think the card is doa.
When i install it and turn on the power it sounds as if the cpu doesn't even turn on but all the fans do. The screen stays black and the keyboard doesn't even light up and no beeps occur. After a short while the fans turn off and on. I may be able to try the gpu in another desktop but if i can't find one should i just send it back and get a replacement?
