PC Configuration
Asus M5A97 R 2.0
PSU: CORSAIR CX SERIES CX750M ATX POWER SUPPLY - 750W
RAM:KINGSTON KHX16C9B1BK2/8 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1600MHZ HYPERX BLACK SERIES DUAL CHANNEL KIT
VGA: Asus R9270x
CPU:AMD FX-6350 3.9GHZ 6-CORE BOX

So i installed everything, cables are connected corectly, i put the vga on the blue PCI slot(pci exp 2.0 x16) and when i booted the pc there was 1 long beep and 3 shorts one(which according to the manual means, there is no vga detected), when i put my old graphics card, nvidia geforce 9600gt it went on the bios message without beeps... So what is at fault here? any solutions? My monitor has a vga cable and i connect it using a vga to dvi adapter.

none of these should be the problem, considering how it fully works with the old graphics card...

After taking the battery out, power and start the pc without battery and shutdown. Remove the power cord and then insert battery, try again. Also, if you haven't try bios update.

Because the error code, maybe the GPU is dead, also you did use the 9600gt that works fine, right? And the cx750 PSU is good for all the single GPU even it is not the great PSU.

okay i will try these and answer you soon, meanwhile can you tell me why would this happen? and if it is a common ocurence? just for educational purposes, also is there a chance that it is a faulty vga?(in 2 days i will have a second pc available and i will try it on that in order to check it out). and also i guess the mb is not faulty cause it is working fully with the old vga

It does look faulty gpu in most proportion but i wouldn't neglect the CX-series psu too with R9 270x(chances are minimal but still can't be ignored). If it doesn't work even after bios update, then give a try on new upcoming pc and make sure to give a change with psu too just to be exact sure. If it still doesn't you are good to RMA your gpu.

So i tried the new vga on another computer and it works fine, then i put it on the pci-e x4 slot on the new motherboard and it turns out it works fine.i do not know for what reason the x16 pci does not detect the vga and the x4 does, my question now is how do i fix that? because the x4 is slower and i need it on the x16.

something i noticed and did not mention before, the black slot which is working is PCI-E x16(@x4 mode) i read somewhere that it will run on x4 only if i use multiple video cards, and if i use a single card it will run on x16 and there will be no performance drop, is that true?
