290x No signal to monitor

[Willis]

I have a 290x which is behaving strange.

Basically sometimes it posts/boots.

It always powers on and the computer seems to be working (loading OS) but just no signal to the monitor.

Have tried it in a few different computers and the same problem. Updated bios etc.

One thing I noticed that if I push the card up into the PCIe slot it sometimes posts but again this random.

Power Supply is 850Watt Bronze which runs my 780TI fine.

Its a Gigabyte version and cant RMA as the cooler has been removed and I'm not the original owner.

I'm guessing its broken but not sure if it can be fixed.

Wait if you put the card more into the pci-e slot it boots? Sounds like its not seating properly....
