Specs: CPU : AMD - FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor Motherboard : Asus - M5A99X EVO R2.0 ATX AM3+ Memory : Corsair - Vengeance LP 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Storage : Western Digital - Caviar Blue 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Graphics card : MSI - Radeon R9 280 3GB TWIN FROZR Power supply : Corsair - CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX When I turn it on the motherboard has a red light labelled 'VGA LED' so I'm thinking there's a problem with the graphics card but I want to be sure before I spend money on another one. But then I did the beep test and got one short beep which means " VGA detected or no keyboard" on asus motherboards. if the vga is detected but there is a red VGA LED then what is the problem? The motherboard? Troubleshooting done : - I have switched it on and off many times each time checking that all wires are properly connected and that the gpu is getting power from the psu. - I have reset the CMOS. - I have switched positions of the graphics card to the white slot from the blue slot in the picture on the motherboard. - I have tried the VGA cables elsewhere and they work, the monitor is also fine. - I have a air duster coming tomorrow morning to clean the pc just incase it was dust causing the problem. - The thing I don't understand is that my razor mouse and headset usually light up as soon as I start the pc but they don't now even though they are connected to the motherboard USB slots not the gpu. If anyone can help I would appreciate it massively. Thank you

Also I did the beep test and it was 1 short beep. What do I do now?

Ok thanks I bought one it's coming tomorrow. The thing I don't understand is why even though the gpu is the problem, my mouse and keyboard don't light up when I switch the pc on. They are connected to the motherboard so can someone explain?

It has overheated and the screen froze a few times in the past months but it hasn't happened recently and I don't think that's the problem. When I turn it on the motherboard has a red light labelled 'VGA LED' so I'm thinking there's a problem with the graphics card but I want to be sure before I spend money on another one.
