I have an hp pavilion h8- 1010 and I recently tried to install the gigabyte r9- 270x but I get no display or power out to any other peripherals. Everything turns on inside the pc and the fans from the 270x do aswell. Everthing works with my old 6450.

Did you upgrade your PSU as well? The stock PSU will not be able to handle the new card, and probably does not even have the PCIe power cables it requires.

I did upgrade my psu to a EVGA 500W 80PLUS Certified ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply.

Did you completely uninstall the drivers for the HD6450? Do that before installing the R9 270X

I did go to device manager and uninstalled the drivers.

Are the PCIe power cables securely in place? If so, and the only differing factor is the new card, you may have gotten a DOA. It is rare, but it certainly happens. Is there another machine you can use to test it?

The PCIe power cables are in place and I don't have another machine to test it on. I was just wondering if the card is compatible with the carmel motherboard that comes with the hp pavilion.

PCIe 3.0 is backwards-compatible.

Alright so the card is either DOA, or is their a possibility of my bios settings causing an error?

Unlikely. If your system defaults to the HD6450 when that is put in, it should also default to the R9 270X when that is used; it would be the same setting, indicating which graphics adapter is primary.
