Some motherboards run all the fans at 100% when they first start if the motherboard is not configured properly. Can you get into the bios and check the settings? It could also be an issue with having to reseat the gpu, ram etc. Sometimes that will clear up the configuration problem.

Hey hans I opened my pc and the loud fans werem the gpu fans, I removed it and connected on my monitor cpu's display slot and it turns on. What is wrong with my gfx card?

Again it could be that it needs to be reseated. Remove it and re-plug it back in and remove the extra power plug and plug it back in. It is really dusty? If it is plugged up with dust, It will try to run faster to cool itself.

I have heard people were having problems with R9's. But almost exclusively when they were overclocking them. Are you overclocking your GPU? If you can test the GPU in a different machine and it does the same thing you will have to rma it.

I removed it, cleaned all the dust and blowed it with the blower, still the same. Please help im starting to panic

I haven't over clocked anything

Google R9 280 problems. See if it is something a lot of people are having.

hans_pcguy · Jul 27, 2014

Dont panic. It may be that you will have to rma it but still, no need to panic. Can you test it in a different PC? Also I googled the loud fan and no video problem, It doesn't seem to be a common problem.

I have had to RMA components from time to time. The manufactures are usually really really nice and helpful. What brand is it?

fuserp · Jul 27, 2014

I dont have a suitable mb to test it on other pc.
Do I have to go to the shop where I got my gfx card from to rma?

fuserp · Jul 27, 2014

It is a sapphire r9 280x

hans_pcguy · Jul 27, 2014

Did you buy it from a shop or order it online?

fuserp · Jul 27, 2014

From a local shop

hans_pcguy · Jul 27, 2014

Take it to them and have them check it. If is is dead they should give you a new one. No questions. They are guaranteed.

fuserp · Jul 27, 2014

Ok dude I will take it to the shop today thx will keep updating

I have copied a feedback from this card at Newegg,com. It seems that at least one other person had the same problem:
1 out of 5 eggsNo signal. Dissapointed but pleasently surprised with costumer service.
Pros: Great looking card. Nice Blue LED. Card seems to be built sturdy with a nice back plate to support everything.

Cons: The Card did turn on with fans spinning and LED lighting up but there was no signal to the monitor. I tried everything from updating BIOS to making sure everthing was plug correctly.
I did cal Newegg and I spoke with gentleman called Michael from troubleshoot support and although he was wonderfull and proffessional while assisting me we could not get the card to work. He stated that it was probably a faulty card and that I should go ahead and RMA it.

Hopefully Newegg can make this a speedy process and refund my money so I can purchase a different brand since this one is out of stock. I think I'm going to go with ASUS this time since this sapphire let me down.

Other Thoughts: Just to clarify, this card does need 2x8pins connectors to power up.

fuserp · Jul 27, 2014

Yes I had connected the 8 pins and it was working fine till yesterday. It has been only like a month with this card
