Hi, I'm trying to build a budget gaming rig for my 11 year old
I have an Hp3400 pro office machine (i5 2400, 8gb 1333mhz) and I've fitted an R9 270 2gb card into its pcie 16x slot. (with an upgraded 650w Corsair PSU with the required two connectors)
Nothing, Nada, zilch on the screen, no way even into bios, no output to monitor at all from any plug
Nothing in the rather limited bios to help me out, there's no "secure boot" or "legacy" options to fiddle with.
The card spins up, and the machine switches off its on board Gpu when the card is in, but I have to remove it again (no easy task in this little case) to get into windows or bios
Puzzled now, there shouldn't be any legacy issues, nor power (now) the pcie is 16x on both
Any ideas people?
