Hi,
Lets start from the basic:
Asrock H67M- GE/TM Motherboard
1Life 600W PSU
Asus R7 260x 2g
Yesterday i got 2 asus R7 260x (one for me, another to a friend), and when i tried to set it up i got absolutely nothing on screen. the computer boots fine and if i chance the cable to the motherboard slots then everything is fine and i get image.
At first i thought it was drivers, so, i took the old card out and cleared the driver, ccleaner all around, restart and try to set the new one up, but the PC still didn't even recognize it.
Searching around i got a, "maybe the motherboard prob?", so i proceeded to update the bios. done, from 1.40 tp 2.10. Yet, still nothing.
I tried with both cards to rule out a damaged piece, yet both do the same, fans on, but the computer doesn't recognize them at all, inserting the asus driver (or downloading the newest from the amd site, either) i get the "insert a vga card" error.
I know that if the PSU doesn't provide enough power it can lead to this, but im using a 600W PSU when the card only recommends a 450W (although its a cheap psu and possible isnt giving 100% of what it says, but still, i dont believe its giving less than 450w, being 600w. Oo).
Am i missing out something? the pc aint really new, the motherboard much less (yet it works perfectly with the old sapphire HD 6570), can it be the problem? Should i go for a higher/better brand PSU?
Thanks for the time guys, any help is appreciated^^.
