Ok so I've had some issues with my r9 270x and I was hoping to get them sorted. So this is not a new card, I've had it for a year and its worked fine. Then out of nowhere, I go to start my pc up and I get motherboard beeps saying there's a graphical error. So Ill just bang off what I know to save time
-I've tested an old gpu that doesn't need extra power cables and it worked fine
-I've tried other outputs on the gpu still nothing
-I got it tested by my local tech store and apparently it works
-I've tried the basic 2 4pin connectors to power the card as well as 2 molex(converted to 4pin) and still the same thing. So either they both power the card or they both don't
-I have a year old corsair psu so I doubt I'm having issues with it already
-On boot the gpu fans spin up, stop, then spin up again and keep going. Not sure if this is what happened before the issue or if this is new and means it's not getting enough power or something
My guess is the card isn't getting power but I don't have any other psus to test this with and I don't know how to check if my current one is giving power through the two 4pin connectors. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
