Would my AMD Athlon II X4 965 (3.4GHZ) CPU be able to handle a Radeon R9 270x GPU?!

Solution


Those PCIe power cables were the aux cable(s) I was referring to. Is your video cable firmly plugged into the gfx card? Is your monitor set to the output you used on the card; HDMI, DVI, VGA?

I dont have any aux cable connected to the card. I'm not even sure if it should. Yes the card is correctly placed and connected to 2 PCI-e express connectors coming out from the PSU (850W). My PSU:

Alpine 850W PC Power Supply Unit PSU - silent cooling 120mm fan, PFC, 4 x SATA

thanks

I'm not sure if the bios is set to PCI-e graphics, but my old gpu was Radeon 5500HD so it was the same brand. How can i check this?
Yes the monitor is plugged to the gpu. I have tried so many different options but nothing is working....

Everything is plugged in correctly. My monitor supports VGA so that should not be the problem.
