can You EASILY use another medium? without buying something?also, are You using the the top or the bottom port on the GPU?
is the card powering properly? e.g. fans spining?, and all that stuff.Have You set the motherboard to use PCI graphics instead of onboard?

That MoBo has a UEFI, so it should be fairly straight forward. look in CPU , north bridge, south bridge, in those areas the option should be to set from Onboard to PCI , if You dont have it still, You can download the Manual for that MoBo here.

Also, Be sure You are running the latest driver...it's here.

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows 7 - 64

Assuming the GPU is running on the Win 7 64bit machine in Your system specs

I noticed that some where complaining of "issues" with the new omega driver, so maybe try something older first.

If you are saying that you only have one 6 pin power connected to your R9 270x then yes you need to connect both 6 Pins to your PSU. If you only have one 6 Pin on your PSU then you will have to use a molex to 6 Pin adapter.

If your PSU has 8 Pins connections then yes connect all 8 pins to the PSU.

I had a GTX 680 before my present card. It had two 6 pin connectors on it. My PSU had four 6+2 pin connectors. I plugged both of the power connectors into the PSU using all 8 pins and plugged the two 6 pin connectors into the graphics card leaving the extra 2 pins hanging. I'm not sure that this will solve your problem but try it.

If that doesn't work can you put the R9 270x into someone else's computer to see if it works to eliminate the possibility that it's just a bad card?

It seems as though You have 2(TWO) six pin 75 watt connectors BOTH should be plugged in.( just so we are clear.)there is ALSO a dual bios on that card as well,


Be certain that this switch is NOT inbetween either of it's position's, so make it either to the left or to the right.If your Power supply is modular, be certain that the OTHER end of the connected 6Pin cables are indeed plugged into the PSU.Try to avoid adapters that turn Molex into 6pin.

Ya m doing the same...seems I have to check the same after putting into the other system...

Ok now after putting both pins...my mobo video output stops responding it means it is taking the video card...yet m getting only blank screen...


OK Finally I have made it working but seems my motherboards 1st vc slot has been courrupted...my mistake seems...should I call them for replacement...

I have call them for replacement...

@tPU I am not able to upload any file from mobile application... :) that is why I did not post any image yet I tried...
