| 1381084 | 2014-08-07 07:01:00 | Hey Guys, My specs: I7 860 Asus P7P55D Mobo running the latest bios I can find on their website (BIOS 2101) PSU Enermax ELT620AWT 620 Watt ( I'm 99% sure this is enough) No hard drives plugged in atm. Graphics card I was running is a 5850. I'm now trying to run a R9 290. I get absolutely nothing when I put the card in, I have tried reseating, checked power cables and used different dvi and hdmi cables but still black screen. I got to the point where I suspected the card was dead so picked up another one today but still no go. And I know this card works on other machines. Can I rule out PSU? It never had any issues with the 5850 and I know that doesn't mean much but it should still be fine from what I've read. Help! |

| 1381085 | 2014-08-07 07:17:00 | Did you when you updated the BIOS update Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology Driver to v10.5.0.1026 too?? As it says on the site? Did you uninstall the drivers for the 5850 before you removed it / installed the new one? Did you connect the PCI-E 6+8 pin connectors?? It looks like it needs them |

| 1381086 | 2014-08-07 07:24:00 | No I didnt install the rapid technology driver - will do that now... The windows hard drive died on me so I chucked that and have pulled the card since then, I can still use the 5850 no probs though |

| 1381087 | 2014-08-07 07:25:00 | Ok but did you connect the PCI-E connectors from the PSU to the new one? It wont work if you dont | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1381088 | 2014-08-07 07:36:00 | Does the GPU fan spin up when you power the computer on? | icow (15313) | ||
| 1381089 | 2014-08-07 07:44:00 | PSU has the 8 + 6 pin required and it's plugged in. Fan spins no probs | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1381090 | 2014-08-07 07:46:00 | I'm wondering if you can use the ez flash to install an older bios, perhaps that would work? I know it can work as I've seen systems with those specs on other forums | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1381091 | 2014-08-07 07:47:00 | Try removing the battery for a min then put it back in then see what happens. If that works reconfigure the BIOS settings | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1381092 | 2014-08-07 07:57:00 | Have tried that now, still no good | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 1381093 | 2014-08-07 08:09:00 | Tried another PCI-E slot? You would have to see something to use Ez flash, you have to get into the BIOS | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
