Dell 2 GB AMD Radeon R7 250 Half Height Graphic Card according to this it is 250.

because the shopkeeper said it is r7 240 2gb any ways guys, I am crossfiring this card with my hp705g2 ed mt, amd a10 apu 7800b (pro) because it have r7 integrated and can be crossfire with only r7 240 or 250. 8gb ram 1866mhz, 1tb hard disk, and 300 watt psu i know some of you will say it needs 400 watt psu etc but i can hear the sound of windows starting up but i am not able to see any thing display is completely blank from starting of pc, i have checked the cpu with other monitor still blank but i can hear the windows starting sound and everything every fan card fan keyboard mouse is running etc. my monitors have vga and dvi ports but card only have dvi and displayport.
i dont have dvi to dvi cable but i have dvi to hdmi cable so i used dvi with monitor and used hdmi to dvi converter with the card in cards dvi port still blank. so i removed the card and sarted pc with vga cable in builtin card it started up and display came but what to do now how to crossfire them and get display i cant check bios when both cards pluged in because display going blank. but with builtin card i checked bios there were no option like primary display or secondary display etc. there were only four options pci 3.0x16,4,1,1 this option is just to hide any of them for windows.

Are you plugged into the GPU or the motherboard?

Doing a fast web search I think that has a DVI-D port. Meaning if you are trying to use a passive DVI to VGA adapter it isn't going to work. If you get a DVI to DVI cord you'll be fine.

I notice you said you don't have a DVI cable, but you do have a DVI to HDMI cable? Can you plug that into the monitor (DVI) and then no adapter just plug it into the GPU in the HDMI port? What happens then?
