Hello, I hope someone can shed some light on my problems I honestly don't know what else to try. Here are my specs:
CPU: Phenom I I X6 2.7ghz
Ram:8gb ddr3
GPU: r9 270 2gb
Psu: antec 550w
My story pretty much is that I upgraded from a 4850 to a sapphire r9 270 that I got from a friend. It worked well for about a month but now it just boots to a black screen. Sometimes after a few restarts it boots into windows and I can use it just fine. Here's what I tried so far:
1. Cleared the cmos
2. Reset bios to default values and set graphics in bios to PCIE(on the rare occasion that I could see anything on my monitor)
3. Tried my old 4850 but it now has the same issue.
4. Tried booting with 1 stick of ram. Nothing.
5.Rechecked all connections and tried new GPU connector I had laying around.
At this point I have no idea what it could be. Why did it work for a month and just stop? I'm guessing it's a PSU problem. I typed this on my phone so apologies for any weird formatting. Any help would be appreciated.
