I'll just copy-paste what I wrote on TomsHardware
Hi guys,
In kind of a panic here, I'll describe my situation in least amount of words:
- I had a MSI GTX460 for 3-4 years. It burned out.
- After waiting 8 months without a GPU, I finally bought a Gigabyte R9 270 OC (from Vmart) today
- Tried booting up PC, it won't turn on. The CPU and GPU fans run but nothing happens.
- As long the both the 6-pins are connected, it doesn't matter whether I connect the monitor to the GPU or to the motherboard, it will not boot as long as the card is getting power.
- If I remove the 6-pin connectors, the PC will boot with integrated graphics.
- As far as I know, power shouldn't be an issue since GTX460 consumes more power than R9 270 according to my knowledge.
- My PSU is Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 600W (Not the greatest, I know, but more than sufficient, I'd presume)
Rest of the specifications, quite a simple PC:
- Core i3-2100
- Intel DH61ww motherboard
- 4 GB DDR3
- PSU: 600W Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus
I tried removing NVIDIA stuff as well.
