DOA graphics card?

[Frosty]

Hello everyone,

 

After much deliberation, I finally chose a new graphics card for my system, a MSI R9 390X, in addition to a new power supply, an RM750 from corsair. When I proceeded to install it in my system however, I found that the system would not boot up. No post either. Hard Drive activity LED does not illuminate. All system and graphics card fans and lights turn on, but my monitor displays no signal. The new card seems fully seated in the slot and all relevant power connectors (6 and 8 pin) are connected. Nvidia drivers were uninstalled before removing old card.

 

If I install my previous card in the system with the new power supply, ( Asus GTX660) everything works as normal. The machine works fine with the motherboard graphics as well.

 

System Specifications:

 

CPU:Intel core i5 2320

Motherboard: Dell 0Y2MRG H67

PSU: Corsair RM750

Boot SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K

OS: Windows 10 pro

that sounds like a dead GPU, you're sure you plugged all the power connectors in right?

before corsair hate: RM is tier 2, its more than okay. if you're gonna hate on it, please come with DECENT facts on why it shouldnt be considered a tier 2 power supply.

I've seen this happen with 390's before. There was even a video about it. Guy had 2 of them not post and his 290X posted fine.
