So yesterday I received a XFX R9 280x for a build I was doing. I set it up and everything was working fine. No problems whatsoever. I ran a few benchmarks and games , that was it. The computer would boot fine , as I was testing an SSD. Earlier today , I was using the computer and the monitor just went black and then went into standby. I restarted the computer and the monitor wouldn't start up. I could hear windows 7 start up , but couldn't see it. I checked inside my case , and everything was fine. I went and tried a different monitor , it just showed "No signal" Then I took another look inside my case , and the VGA LED was solid red. I reseated the card , but this didn't solve the problem. I switched out the card to an old HD7770 , and it booted fine. I went back to my 280x and the problem persisted. The fans spin up still , and the 6+8 pin power cables are seated firmly. I have tried both DVI ports and the HDMI port. I have tried the other PCIE slot , and same problem. My specs are as follows :
Cpu: FX 8320
PSU: EVGA 600B
RAM : 2 x 4Gb Crucial ballistix sport
GPU : XFX R9 280x DD
MOBO : M5a97 Evo R 2.0
Hope I don't have to RMA.
