Hi guys, on the advice of some of you lovely people I purchased a new R280 gpu to replace my old, semi broken gpu.
When it finally arrived, I plugged it in, seated it properly, put the power cables in correctly (fairly idiot proof I think) and booted it up.
My monitor just goes to standby mode and nothing happens. I've tried leaving it for a while to see if anything sorts itself out but nothing happens. There isn't even any beeps to let me know it's not been installed correctly.
Assuming it was a DOA card I tried it in a friends rig and it worked perfectly. I've tried my old 7950HD in my pc too and that still works fine.
I've even tried formatting my pc to check if it was a strange compatability issue or something, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
PCI-E slot is 3.0 and worked with the 7950 fine, power supply is 550w so I don't think it would be a power supply issue and the fans are running on it.
Any advice would be an amazing help guys.
Thanks.
