Hi, I just recently bough an ASUS Radeon R7 260x and there were no display, these are the things I did. Also I only know little when it comes to these kinds of problems. My power supply also provides 725 watts and I think the minimum of the R7 260x is 500 watts.

- Took out the R7 and put my old graphics card back (integrated) and let it ran, which worked.
- Used an HDMI and a VGA cable (I also took out my gpu and only ran my motherboard, which also worked normally).
- I also installed the gpu correctly, I connected it to the power supply (6 pins), and inserted it into the PCI x16 slot, and it locked.
- I tried using the disc that was given w/ my motherboard running, which didn't allow me cause I needed the gpu.



Also before this, I had a Sapphire Radeon R7 260x, which also didn't work. I'll list out what I did too if it's going to help.

- Installed the latest beta amd driver and my screen would turn black and say, "Driver has stopped and recovered"
- Then later on I got this on my screen,

- I also installed it properly


I bought the ASUS from Memory Express, and Sapphire from Newegg.

I tried it on my brother's PC which has an older mobo, I believe a dual core, not sure what the whole model is. But it worked perfectly fine for him. And I think it maybe my MOBO because when it went to my BIOS I checked the advanced settings and the internal graphics weren't there. Meaning my MOBO only detects the integrated graphics card and can't recognize what the ASUS. But I'm assuming that you're saying that the Sapphire is broken, which I totally agree on, and I'm hoping to rma it soon. The thing is Sapphire is the one that actually ran, would that mean that I should get another one of the sapphire? Like switch the asus to sapphire?

Well, the sapphire was the first one and no success. Same goes for the ASUS, although it didn't show any input. Unlike the sapphire I was able to use it and was able to log on and all that.
