R9 290x

[hell92]

Just got a new R9 290x, but there is no display even though I can hear the windows start up sound. Is it a problem with the monitor compatibility?

Check your cable connections?

Did you make sure that the PSU connection is 6+2pins and a 6pins connected on the GPU?

Thanks for the fast reply. Yup it is connected as you have mentioned. The fan spins, is it possible it is a doa?

Try other I/O ports? Mobo slot also...

I tried it does not work, anyway the slot should be working just fine. I am using the same slot with my old gt610, so I don't think it's a slot problem.

Might wanna take a photo upload here so we can see how is it?

So that we can help you further.

It could be a few reasons though.

U got another monitor or TV to test? Is your monitor input correctly set?

Just updated my specs, I am on 650W which should be more than enough.

Insert it on the first slot of PCIe x16. Dont go for 2nd slot.

I think it's the lighting, just cleaned it up. There is d6 error now though, reinserted at least 10 times lol.

Switch to first slot, d6 error on the motherboard now.

 

[royfrosty]

Switch off the entire pc, including the wall switch. Remove the battery from the Motherboard for a good 10 secs. Then put back in and try again.

In other words.... Clear cmos

New image on the first slot, no pins so should be secured.

U still got ur old card? Can it still work properly?

Please press "F9" to load BIOS default settings and adjust "Primary Graphics Adapter" to [PCI Express] to try.

Try this. D6 error is gpu error for asrock.

I cleared CMOS but still d6 error and no display on screen.
