I was upgrading my computer and bought Windows 8.1, Crucial M500 SSD, 8gb RAM, and a MSI R9 280.

I took out my old HDD and put in the SSD and installed windows. All good.

I put in the new RAM and new gfx card. No display.

I take out new card, put in old card (ATI HD 6870). Works fine.

I retry the 280, fans are spinning, its in the slot etc. It just wont work.

Any suggestions? I'm currently just running on my 6870.
