Hello everyone, today my new GPU arrived, which i was waiting for a lot time. I exchanged it with the current one, happily turned the pc on and realised .. no video input on both of monitors, also i didn't hear typical pop-sound when pc turned on, also my keyboard didnt light as it always does after turning on the computer.
So, before i have used AMD 5700 series (5750 probably), now tried to get R9 270x 2D
my motherboard: Acer x3995
cpu: i5 2320 3.0 ghz
psu: 700w
So, i tried to uninstall current drivers and then plug in new gpu, no results
Update all drivers, no results
Yes, i plugged in both 6-pins in correctly, just like i placed gpu correctly ( i know because i exchanged them like 10 times already and the old one was working every time)
I tried to connect the cables thro hdmi cable and dvi with cross on it (not sure which dvi it is)
I have read some peoples posts however i cannot spot any settings about gpu in my bios, which about most people were talking about.
Can you guys help?

The chipset drivers would be in the same area as the BIOS download.

Your system may just not be able to work with the newer cards, at least not the model and brand you have. You can try an nVidia card see if that works better.
On the working card, update the BIOS and chipset drivers for the system. You have an OEM motherboard, those tend to have a lot more issues with video cards than others. If you can't even see the BIOS screen, it may just be that the card won't work in your system. Maybe try an nVidia 950.
