I've got a slight problem with my PC at the moment... last night I started overclocking my 270X I went up in intervals of 5-10 MHz. I got the GPU clock to around 1240MHz and then it crashed playing DayZ. I went to turn the computer on after the crash. It started as normal with all fans going and then it got to the Boot screen after that it black screened. I went and changed the HDMI cable to the onboard graphics but no luck after remebering that I disabled the onboard graphics in the BIOS. Tried the GPU again but there was nothing not even the Boot screen I tried the onboard graphics but this time it showed the boot screen but it couldn't get to windows.

This morning I tried again thinking it may have just overheated. Still it didn't work. So I opened the case and removed the battery from the motherboard I waited around 10 minutes and tried again but still a black screen. I don't know what to do now as it's starting to get me worried as only just got the 270X last week. Many thanks if anyone can help.
 
I doubt it's the 270X m8, mobo should default to the onboard graphics after a bios reset. Remove the GPU, reset the bios again and try booting to the onboard again. If no-go test with an alternative PSU?

No not yet, do I press F8 to go into safe mode?
Click to expand...

If on Win8, hold SHIFT down and mash F8 key when power up until you get the win logo with preparing repair or something like that.

If you can get into BIOS via 270 then flash in that, if not flash with onboard.

For some reason there are some incompatibly issues with giga and amd cards, latest bios seems to resolve

Mine happened out of the blue last week and BIOS flash fixed it (would go into safe mode, but not full Windows).

Sounds driver related. Try the bios fix that hyperseven suggested if it's a known issue and that revision fixes it. Make sure you don't try and flash it within windows though.
 
The monitor is now working for some strange reason again but is being a bit weirrd with the resulution etc I think it's time I bought a new one as it only runs at 1280x720 plus it is 6 years old.
 
I think you should haha... when I switched from my 1024x768 to 1920x1080 i was like... WHAT.

newer monitors have much less impact on your eyes also, you'll get a huge fps drop but the 270x should be able to handle most games
