OK ordered an XFX R9-380 4GB card yesterday morning which turned up around an hour ago, so i installed it as per usual and upon switching on my rig to install the drivers i noticed my monitor was receiving no signal (Little blue light in the corner sat there flashing with a black screen...) So i tried a second monitor with an older (DVI?) connection just incase it was a dodgy connector/cable same response.
Thinking it may be a dodgy rail/lead from my PSU i tried alternative 6 pin sockets (is a couple of spares on this PSU) same response black screen and little blue light flashing. Same when i tried on of the two molex/6 pin adapters you get with the card. During all of the above the fans on the GPU were spinning up so power is getting to it.
So i have reinstalled this old 5770 and it is working fine, i have tried all of the 6 pin connectors and all power it up fine. So does anyone have any ideas if i have missed anything/ messed anything up? Or is this card DOA?
