Issues encountered during installation of R9 280X on H-Cupertino-2-H61-UATX
Hello, here are your details: motherboard model Joshua H-Cupertino-2-H61, BIOS version 7.16, 4MB RAM, ballistic sport 2x4GB RAM, Gigabyte R9 280 X graphics card, Cooler Master 520W PSU. I recently purchased a used R9 280 X due to my GTX 660 Ti failure. Installation issues persist—cables plug in fine but the system shows only “no signal” when powered on. My friend’s setup works perfectly. Pressing power turns it off instantly. Do you have any idea if a new motherboard might be needed or if the problem lies elsewhere?
Reduce power consumption by removing unused peripherals from the motherboard, such as the DVD drive or additional hard drives. Then test the system.
