So I had old GeForce gt 730 in and i put r9 290x tri-x in, it worked for a little but the motherboard would do 3 beeps when I would start up with new card so I reseated the card and now when I turn my computer on I just get black screen , keyboard and mouse don't light up either.
Specs
750w EVGA b2
970 Msi gaming
Fx-6300
Tried redoing the drivers and all that through DDU didn't work
It was a used card on eBay but barely used
 
Solution
Make sure you have the auxillary power plugged into the GPU. If that doesn't work, remove the card and try to boot again. A successful boot means you have either a bad card (most likely) or a bad pci-e slot or PSU.

The slot is fine because my old card works, PSU is brand new last week and I have 6 pin VGA and the 6+2 VGA Pin hooked up

Everything boots up, but it's black screen, my tv is getting signal too, just black screen. With sun and O/I ports not working
