This is my first computer build. I've assembled everything according to manufactures instruction and according to guides and troubleshooting guides I've found on here. I've tried all the guides already posted... Again this is my first build but i think its something to do with my gpu the rest of the system (fans,lights) turn on but the fans on the Gigabyte Radeon R9 270 2048MB GDDRS dont and I get no picture. its a Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 mother board and a corsair CX430 power supply. Please help this is really annoying...

Like I said I've tried the usual problems...cpu power...RAM slot stuff like that... Im hopeing its something simple i've overlooked but cant seem to figure it out

Did you plug the additional cables from the PSU to the video card? If you did, then the problem is somewhere else.

The Corsair CX is below average quality PSUs. Even if they bear the Corsair brand - they have nothing to do with the quality you would expect from Corsair.

My 2nd best bet is that the CX 430 can't provide enough power to the R9 270. If you have an FX6300 or 8*** than that is most likely the case. On Corsair's website, they say that the CX 430 provides 28 amps on the V12 rail. And the R9 270 requires 28 amps or more on the 12v rail and a PSU of 500W or greater. You can run a 270 and a FX 8*** of a quality 400 something Seasonic PSU, but no from a Corsair CX. If you share the full system specs we could help more.

My 3rd bet is a DOA card, but I believe the previous ones are more likely.

Here's my list i'm inclined to think you may have hit the nail on the head. With the psu now that I'm looking over my list it looks like I clicked the wrong line! Should have double checked!!!

If that is it, what do you recommend, brand? wattage?

Thanks for the help!
