Hi guys. I just want to ask this confusing thing that's been happening to my pc.
I did not alter or do anything that i think would damage my pc before this happens.
I have this 1 year old r9 270 from sapphire and this morning, i had this black screen after the windows logo.
I noticed that the HDD lights stopped flickering but the keyboard and mouse still has lights.
I can't do anything but press the restart button on my rig.
This does not happen when i removed the card this morning.
Basic specs:
Windows 8.1
600w true rated PSU
i5 3470
8gb of RAM
EMX Lga 1155 Mobo.

Is it a defective card or anything else?
 
Solution
You mentioned it worked fine when you removed the card and (presumably) tested with the Intel card,if so then your 270 is probably defective.If it's possible test it in another system or test another GPU in your system to see how it goes;otherwise; RMA your card
