a friend of mine gave me his xfx r9 270x graphics card, we installed it into my Lenovo h50 with a corsair CX750M power supply, but it isnt picking up the graphics card, it is still running off of the default on board graphics. does anyone know how to fix this?

i had done both of those and neither worked. i did however get it working because the guy who gave me the power supply gave me a faulty cable. swapped it out and everything worked as intended.
