hi,
i bought a msi radeon r9 270x hawk 2gb graphics card, but when i install it to my HP oem pc it shows no signal on monitor and the graphics card LED s getting flash but the two gpu cooling fans only just shaking slowly.but when i install it to another pc its working fine.And i'm using a 500W branded gaming psu and i used different power supply s to work this but nothing worked and i'm sure that i set 4 molex cables correctly.before this gpu i used sapphire radeon r7 250x 950mhz 1gb gpu and it worked fine.
my pc = hp pro 3300 series mt

hopefully this is not your case but it is something to consider and I do hope you get it going

some models of store bought computers [dell.hp,acer,ect..] may come with a ''locked or fixed'' bios and may not allow you to change certain hardware as a video card.. this is done to protect them from undue warranty claims and refunds .this is not done to hurt you but to protect them. you really need to see if that upgrade has been proven to work in your model first before you invest money in it .. there are a lot of these threads here at toms to look at some models will allow upgrades and some dont.. and a lot of guys here say ya ya ya when is really no no no...it would be sad you spent $200 on a card that wount post after you installed it as most find out. then get told its your psu and you spend more and end up right back where you are now, but its up to you good luck..


you got to know the the boards in these computers are not like the ones we use to do custom builds witch are open to upgrading with in the boards compatibly . the bios is custom made for there design and just for the parts they authorize to be used on there computers

Will replacing motherboard fix this problem?

I bet its more down to the fact the R7 only uses 65w of power so is within the PCIE power limits, while the R9 uses 180w and the psu just can't provide the juice
