Hello
I've had a look through the multiple posts on this forum and seen that there is multiple people having this same issue, but none of them have helped me, so here i am making a new thread in the hope that maybe someone out there can help me.
I bought a new ASUS AMD Radeon R9 270 GPU a few days ago and it arrived early hours this morning. Obviously excited i wanted too get it into the PC and underway. So i took the old card out and plugged the new card in and turned the computer back on to only see black monitors. Though i heard windows boot up perfectly fine through the speakers.
So i figured i would check too see if the on board card was working, which upon unplugging the monitors from the R9 270 and placing into the onboard everything was fine and monitor came on. Now the R9 is fine, its seated correctly, the 6 pin connector is plugged in and the green light next to the 6pin is green and upon starting up the computer the fans on the GPU are spinning fine, but just nothing displayed on the monitor(s). I also checked in the Device Manager and the Display Adapters is only showing my onboard card and not the R9 270 ??
So i turned off my computer and inserted my old ASUS HD 6770 back into my computer and booted back up with that, and voila everything is working fine. Both monitors are on and the card is also showing in the Device Manager under Display Adapters.
So...
R9 270 Plugged in = R9 Not registering, but onboard is working.
HD 6770 Plugged in = Everything working fine.
I have looked through this forum at many posts trying too work out what the problem is and too try and solve the issue. Including downloading the beta drivers and also tried too see if my wireless card that was plugged into my PCI slot was causing an issue (as it was another person on a 270X i think it was).
Mobo: BIOSTAR N68S3+
PSU: 650w
Ive looked at the possibility that its a BIOS issue and although im not familiar with this areai did look up versions and it doesnt look like there is any update for that as the version i have on my computer is the only 1 available on the site (Last updated 26th Aug 2010).
Any ideas what is going on here and what i can do too get this problem resolved at all ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
