It may simply be a configuration error. With the graphics card NOT plugged in, boot into your system's bios. I'm assuming your motherboard has integrated graphics and this is what your machine will default to. Depending on how your bios is setup the menus will vary. Try to find an option for graphics and choose the primary graphics card as the one that is plugged into your PCIE port, rather than the onboard graphics. Exit and shut off your computer. Plug Radeon back into PCIE slot and restart computer. This might work. You may have a bad card but I'd really exhaust every option before you assume the card is bad.
