PSU: XFX 550w
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-8350
Ram: Kingston HyperX 2x 2gb + 1x 4gb (total 8gb)
GPU: Gigabyte 7850 HD OC
Storage: 1x WD 5200 RPM caviar green 1tb HDD + 1 seagate barracuda 7200 rpm 1tb HDD.

PC was working fine until today i installed a new R9 280x and i keep getting Ec data or ec flash data might be corrupt and i cant access bios or anything and PC automatically shut down after 15 seconds.

So far i tried booting without a GPU, i tried clearing cmos(unplug power move caps from pins 1-2 to 2-3 according to mobo user manual), tried sirect start button.
It s also worth mentioning that the red led flashes like nce or twice when i boot up.

After i took it to the store i bought the GPU from it appears that i first tried to run it on a 6+2 and a 4+4(Which caused the first problem that PC didnt' boot at all) i messed around and plugged the AC97 cable in a wrong spot which caused the problem later when i switched the 4+4 with an 8 pin that came with the GPU, so all i had to do was to unplug that AC97 cable.
