R7 250 not working

[Alexcalibur]

So I bought this http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/amd-radeon-r7-200-series/amd-radeon-r7-250-core-edition-r7-250a-zlf4 used off of ebay, only to find it doesn't work. What I mean by it doesn't work is that when I boot with it plugged into the PCIe slot, the display remains black. Help?

can you return it ? Or get your money back ?

Make sure that you plugged your monitor to the card directly. If you have done it and the screen is still black, connect it to the motherboard. If you get video there, get in the bios and change the output to PCI-E instead of iGPU.

I have tried this already, but when I try to boot with the card plugged in but my video streaming from the motherboard the same results occur

If you have any other PCI-E card, regardless of quality, try it there, just to make sure that your PCI-E slot works. Then return your R7 250 if you see your slots work.

Dang man buying used gpu's is very risky. What kind of gpu did you have before this R7-250? And did you have the same issue? Or is this into a new build?

I am currently trying this right now with a PCIe SSD, and if that won't work I will have to try it with my HD 7770. I am doing a used SFF build and I have bought everything used. @Cazual-T So it might actually be the motherboards fault with a dead PCIe 16x slot
