here are my specs
AMD fx 8320
antec hcg 900w power supply
M5a97 r2.0 mother board
Xfx Radeon r9 280x DD graphics card
Crucial mx100 128gb sdd
Seagate barracuda 1tb hdd
dual screen setup one through hdmi port other through dvi
i have been getting issues with booting my pc, sometimes it will boot and others it boots but i get black screens and mobo beeps indicating no graphics card installed. everything was installed correctly and i went through toms boot check list when i built my pc ,which i built it about a week ago, ive already replaced the power supply once thinking it was a faulty power supply but same issue even with the new one. nothing is overclocked i left everything in stock settings. my question is if anyone else has encountered this problem and has found a solution?
UPDATE
so i might have found a solution. i have those long extended ports for power where i had my computer connected to. it might not have been letting enough power go through because every slot on my power extender is taken. so all i did was connect my computer directly onto the wall outlet and it seemed to have solved my problem. I will update after more tests
UPDATE
So that was not the issue. I tested other cards on my PC and all of them worked fine, in all slots. And also tested the power strip see if it was the problem, it was not. The problem was the card. It is a faulty card and was not working properly. I have already contacted Amazon and they are sendingn a replacement. XFX support was no help when I told them about my issue they insisted it was my power supply and not the card and took 4 days to reply back. So I contacted Amazon instead and they are sending a new one out and I already sent the faulty one back. I'll update when I get the new one in.
UPDATE
so after more testing with not only the new card that arrived, but multiple different cards i would get the same error again after the first install. so ended up RMAing my mobo. I installed the mobo yesterday(02-18-2015) and was able to boot every time with my new card and other cards as well. so the problem was my mobo the whole time. pcie slots were probably bad.
