So, i just picked up a new R9 290X at my local dealers, but it wont connect to my PC. I'm running a modular corsair PSU, and i've tried to connect to graphics card with different power cabels. I have uninstalled the drivers that was on my pc already (had a R9 280X which was deffective), and used a clean-up tool to remove the trash that was left behind.

The problem is, that i cant get an image, at all!

I have tried all the PCIe slots on my board, but nothing seems to work, and tried with both DVI-D and HDMI. Getting frustrated here!

Any hints?

i had kinda same problem today but i didnt change the card or whatever i dont even know why it happened BUT open your case double check if the connector above the cpu or somewhere near is connected,check if the card has that 6 pin and 8 pin and then cmos the pc.I did it like i turned off the pc found battery on motherboard put it out waited for like one minute put it back in changed ram slots turned on pc and everything is working now..try that and tell me if something happened
