Hello,
Just changed out my graphics card and power supply 2 days ago. I upgraded my GTX 650 to an r9 280x, and mt 400W PSU to a 600W. Everything went fine for the first two days, Now when i turned it on today, it is booting up to a black screen. It shows the screen that has windows booting up, but it is in very low resolution. After that the screen goes black and slighlty flickers. I have made sure everything is nicely plugged in. I find it puzzling why it is deciding to give me trouble after it worked the day before.

I hope one of you will be able to help me out because i am sort of new and this is my first PC build experience. Currently i am restoring it to a restore point the day before i installed the card, hopefully that may help, but maybe you can supply me the answer. Thank you for the help.

Try to put the old 650 in there , if it still boots with a black screen i'd start suspecting the power supply
Also what PSU do you have ? if you have a crappy psu then that's the problem !
