Hi,
You guys were a big help when I was building my pc, so I am hoping you can help me figure out the error.
I have been having a problem with my new setup. When I turn on my desktop, during POST I get a red light on my mobo for the graphics card. I restart my computer, and it all goes smoothly from there. This only occurs when my computer has been off for a long time (approx. 6 hrs). I am not sure what the problem is; I checked all the external and internal connections. I have yet to overclock my cpu, could that be my problem? Any help would be appreciated.
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core OEM/Tray Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Toshiba Product Series
T01ACA 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB Dual-X Video Card
Power Supply: Rosewill Capstone 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro (OEM) (64-bit)

BTW, my monitor is set to 720P at 60 Hz and is connected via a DVI-D cable to my graphics card.

What a load of nonsense. I don't like seeing people report rumours and bias like facts. I'm running a HD 7950 in Windows 8.1 with absolutely zero issues.
As for releasing rebadged older chips NVIDIA is just as guilty of this practice as AMD
I genuinely don't have a preference either way, I see AMD cards as a good way to get raw power at a good price point and with NVIDIA you generally get more features and finesse but for more money

Sorta have a feeling that it's the PSU causing the issue here. Do you have any other PSU's that you can try put to see if they cause the same issue?Unfortunately, I do not have another PSU on hand. Do you think it could be that I am overstressing one of the modular cables?

Make sure that your graphics card is sitting perfectly in the slot. I once experienced a similar issue when the PCI bracket (the bit where all the plugs are at the back) was slightly bent and so the card wouldn't sit properly in the PCIe slot.You could also try clearing the CMOS on your motherboard and making sure that the PCIe cables are properly plugged in to your card from the PSU.
Failing that it's probably either a dodgy card or a dodgy PSU (but I'd bet the GPU)
I have taken the Graphics Card out and put back it a couple of times and made sure that it is all the way in. It seems to sit fine all around. I will try to clean the slot and see if that helps later today.
