So at the end of august, I rma'd the XFX Radeon HD 7950 because the fan was broken, the reseller sent me an ASUS 280 Strix as replacement after xfx didnt do anything with my card for a month.
I installed the card, but the motherboard does not go past the VGA led. The power connectors are plugged in correctly, LEDs on the gpu confirm. The gpu's fans spin.
I have already updated the bios, reset the motherboard setup to default optimized, I tried using another PCIE slot.
What should I do? I find it very strange that the 280 does not boot, itsn't the 280 a rebranded 7950 after all?
I also don't have another system to test the gpu in.
System in sig.
