Processor-AMD FX 6300
RAM-4GB DDR3 1600 Mhz
Board-M5A97 LE R2.0
PSU-500W iBall Marathon
I also bought a grapphic card with this configuration(Sapphire R7 240 1 gb ddr 5). The problem is the grapphics card is not initiating when the power is ON. I have got a replacement for the card but the problem still persists. Did this card is supported by motherboard mentioned above. Or do I need to go for higher power supplies. Can u suggest anyother card with the same performance of the card above mentioned at that card's budget please help me...

does the card light up or does its fan spin for a while when you power on the pc? i think your psu is okayish for the setup but we need to know if the 500w wattage is peak or continuous.

Mine is 500 W peak . But I tried with 550 W PSU too . The problem still exits. Yeah the fan spin for a while and goes OFF.

then you need to replace that card maybe.

you are from india(like me) i suppose. if that's so then you are getting your card for approx. 5300 inr so would'nt it be wise to stretch your budget a bit and get a gt 640 for 5700 inr which is 30% faster than r7 240 or a r7 250 for 6100 inr which is 80% faster or a hd7770 for 7200 inr that is 150% faster(that means 2.5 times more performance for just 2000 inr extra!!) you have great cpu and mobo and that deserves atleast something like a 7770.

Yeah man. I'm getting a replacement . Currently I was planning to get HD6670 ddr5 . But I'm gonna consider gt 240 if the price range is favorable for me. Which of the two cards mentioned above performs well and suits to my budget around 6k??
