Computer won't boot with R9 270X Hawk installed.

It ran ok with a previous Hawk card, but that failed after 6 months and the problem I have is with the replacement supplied under warranty. The computer will not boot at all with the card installed. It runs fine with an ATI Radeon HD6450 in the PCI-e slot. The replacement card was returned to the supplier who checked it and says it works correctly. I haven’t got a spare PC to check myself.
The fans run and 8 blue leds light up but there is no output. I have checked there is 12v at the power connectors under load.
The PC is a Dell Inspiron 620, BIOS version A10 .
4g memory
Apologies if there is already a solution here somewhere- I have looked.

Thanks for your reply.
The pc is Dell Inspiron 620, cpu Intel i5-2320 3 GHz 4 core.
4GB memory.
PSU is 650 watt Be Quiet BN210 Power Zone
If you need other details, please let me know which.
The card has been tried by the supplier (Scan Computers) and pronounced ok and I’ve no reason to doubt that, but I have no suitable PC here to try it in. It’s worth bearing in mind that exactly the same type of card ran ok for 7 months in this pc.

  • HP Pavilion P7-1141 Computer won't boot with 2nd SATA drive installed

    I'm having a problem booting brand new computer when a second SATA hard drive ws installed into P7-1141
    Took a working SATA drive from my other computer and installed it into this new computer.  But computer only hangs on startup screen after the animated logo draws...then sits there doing nothing..
    My configuration:
    HD 1 (boot drive, original that came with computer) plugged into SATA1
    HD2 (second SATA drive) plugged into SATA2
    DVD drive (original) plugged into SATA3
    Will boot if I unplug SATA cable, but won't if it's plugged in..
    To make sure I didn't break anything, I put the SATA drive back into original computer with the same power cable and SATA cable and it works.  That is, it shows up as a second hard drive on my old computer. 
    Any ideas? 

    Product number is : QX351AA3ABA
    HP Pavilion
    Model # P7-1141
    Ok.  I've done a little research and right or wrong, I'm following a suggestion to re-format the drive before I attach it.  Reason:  Someone posted that if you had a Windows XP or Vista formatted HD, that it will need to be re-formatted before being installed into a Windows 7 OS.  Maybe right, maybe wrong...but I'm going to try anyways.  Will keep posted.
    Also, looked at my Event Log Errors and found this in the entry:
    The device, \Device\Harddisk6\DR6, is not ready for access yet.
    Not sure what this means yet..but working on it.  If anyone knows off-hand, i would like to solve this.
    Anyways, I'm re-formatting the disk now and will try it again.  I have my doubts, because why wouldn't an NTFS formatted drive show up with any operating system?  Maybe there's an obvious answer, but that's why I'm here!  
    Other comments:
    I checked for latest SATA driver and must have it..at least according to this HP site since it only lists the 'original', so I assume it's there's only one released for this MB and that I must have the  latest and greatest. 
    There are many other posts on Windows 7 hanging on "Starting Windows'..and the above is what I pulled from them...haven't found 'the' solution posted yet....
    Thanks!

  • Computer won't boot with PCI-GPIB card installed

    I'm running a windows XP system with Labview 7.1 installed. I have installed the GPIB drivers, but when I insert my PCI-GPIB card, the computer will not boot(it freezes before the POST). I'm running a Shuttle "MK40VN" KM400 Chipset Motherboard.

    Well, nevermind, I just verified that the card is in fact fried.

  • PowerMac DP G4 Won't Boot With All RAM Sticks Installed

    A few weeks ago, my 800 MHz dual-processor G4 started having frequent kernel panics. I tried all sorts of things, including changing the PRAM battery, resetting the firmware, and resetting the PMU. Then, one day, it would only power up but not boot, so I took it in for repairs.
    The shop I took it to determined that the logic board was malfunctioning and replaced it. The computer no longer has any kernel panics.
    The machine was designed for three 500 MB RAM sticks, which is what it had ever since I bought it over five years ago. Now, apparently, it won't boot with the last one installed, though it will with two. The shop replaced the new logic board and and even swapped RAM, but the problem still persists. Neither the power supply nor the hard drive appear to be malfunctioning.
    Does anyone have any ideas what's going on? Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    squeakmaster, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Have you tried the following with one 512MB RAM stick:
    1. Palce it in the first RAM slot. Does the Mac boot?
    2. If so, remove the stick & place it in the second RAM slot. Does it boot?
    3. If so, remove the stick & place it in the third RAM slot. Does it boot?
    The results of this test should reveal (1) if the stick boots in one or more RAM slots, the RAM is good and (2) if it fails to boot in a RAM slot, there is a problem with that slot.
    Do this with each of the tree RAM sticks & post back the results.
    When the logic board was replaced, was the firmware updated to be compliant with OS X. (Note - The firmware is installed on a chip on the logic board.) Check your Mac's firmware (Boot ROM version) version. Mac OS X: Available firmware updates
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117 If an update is required, the update must be installed (using OS 9) BEFORE you install OS X.
    Can you boot up in OS 9.x? If so you can use DIMM First Aid - Check & recover disabled (missing) RAM from Apple's latest firmware updates http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/10415

  • Installing Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition (mid-2009 mac book pro with mountain lion) My computer won't boot from the Windows 7 Install DVD.

    Hello,
    I have been trying to install Windows 7 on my macbook pro (mid 2009, MBP53). I have successfully created a bootcamp partition using the assistant. When the computer tries to boot from the windows 7 install dvd, the screen is just black. The dvd spins for a bit, then stops and the computer is just black (no blinking cursor).
    Any advice would be very appreciated.
    Thanks.

    What kind of an install DVD are you using for Windows?
    You can use any DVDs that are hardware specific. Only the full non-hardware soecific DVDs work on the Mac.

  • My computer won't restart with the snow leopard install

    my computer won't restart with installing snow leopard

    Unclear what your problem's all about. You can't boot the machine with the SL install disc or, after installing SL, the machine won't boot. Provide amplifying info and maybe we can help solve it.

  • [GeForce 6] Geforce 6800 128MB - Computer won't boot with add. power cable conne

    I've had my computer set up in it's current configuration for about a year now except that I've recently replaced (RMA) my motherboard and it's been working solidly for the past two weeks.  I was playing a game yesterday, hit <Escape> to go to options and then my computer shut off.  After unplugging everything from the motherboard, I have found out that the computer won't turn back on if I have the additional power cable attached to the video card.  If I have the power cable attached to the video card, the computer will turn on for about a second, and turn off.  The power LED won't stay on, the CPU fan won't turn, even the power supply fan won't turn.  When I detach the power cable from the video card, my computer will power on, but I get a horrible screech (which I assume is the video card warning that the necessary power cable isn't attached).  In this case, all fans on the system start turning, even the video card fan.  So, I turn off the computer within a few seconds to make sure I don't damage anything.  I have tried using different power connectors from the power supply to the video card to make sure it wasn't just one particular power cable.
    My question is: Is the video card at fault, or my power supply?
    I'm hesitant to test the video card on the only other system available to me (My girlfriend's 5 year old Gateway with a 200W power supply [+12V 6A Max] which I'm using to post this thread) for fear of damaging it.  And unfortunately, the video card in my girlfriend's computer is of a way older AGP style which won't fit into my motherboard (for testing).

    Glenn,
    I cleared the CMOS, as suggested, and nothing has changed from my previous post.  I'm trying to figure out if the video card is now drawing too much power from the power supply, indicating something went wrong with the video card or if something went wrong with the power supply in that it now can't handle the power being drawn from the video card.  I disconnect all my hard/optical drives power connections, so that the power supply is powering only the motherboard and video card and it's the same story.
    NEXT DAY UPDATE:
    I bought a SmartPower 2.0 350W Antec power supply from Circuit City to test my situation further.  I get the same problems even with the new power supply, so I'm certain that the video card is drawing too much power from the Molex power connector.  Time to RMA MSI ASAP.  If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to comment on this thread.

  • Hi my mid 2012 MacBook air simply refuses to start. My charger is working which is a good sign but even in safe mode my computer won't boot up! I recently installed a product called WhatSizeMac.

    As said above I just installed what size Mac and now my computer won't start. As soon as I downloaded it my computer was a little glitch but regarded it as nothing. my computer was later really buggy so I decided to restart it. My computer now will not restart/turn on no matter if it is in safe mode or not. In safe mode it gets around a third of the way and then the progress bar disappeared then the gear remains for a second then the screen goes black then that is it. By the way I have OS X Maverick's .1 or.2, maybe .3 but I doubt it. PS if you can tell me a legit application that will declutter all this space I seemed to have used, yet have no idea HOW! Thanks.

    If SMC and PRAM resets do not bring back life to your MBA, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE diagnosis.

  • Imac won't boot with new hard drive installed

    So I installed a new 1Tb caviar black in my PPC G5 Imac, but when I turn the computer on, I get no video, no startup chime, nothing. The power light does come on, and fans start running after a minute or so, but thats it. I can't boot from the install disc.
    The computer boots up as expected when I remove the drive(startup chime, grey screen, missing folder icon).
    Any suggestions to what the problem is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    -D

    wierd i have similar problem. I removed HDD after crash to backup in an enclosure before reinstalling os again, put the hdd back and connected the hdd sensor backup (although i thought it was a knock sensor..doh!) . Mac wouldnt start, no screen, no chime, nada, but sleep light stays on. With PCs this usually mean CPU fault so i removed RAM to see if could get a BEEP meaning CPU is ok as it spots ram. No beep. So after checking everything i stripped out ram, hdd, airport and battery and reset PMU, tried again and now i get beep!! so cpu works. slowly adding everything back in and trying power up, last thing to go in was hdd sensor and sure enough when this is connected i reproduce the symptoms. So i disconnected the sensor and tried and i get chimes etc... Ive inspected the cable and made sure is connected right way up and still cant get to work. So it seems sensor is goosed! Debating wether to replace just yet

  • My computer won´t boot and restarts at Apple logo with the spinning thing

    My computer won´t boot and restarts at Apple logo with the spinning thing and I can´t get it to work.
    Before this happen I had left the computer on without a cable plugged in and so it ran out of power.
    I just pressed the startbutton again after I´ve plugged it in and this problem started.
    Any ideas?

  • MacBook Pro won't boot with new hard drive, but a different MacBook Pro will

    So here are the details. My friend and I both have 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro's. Same processor and specs since they were purchased at the same time, but originally had 250 GB hard drives. His hard drive failed and needed a new one. Put a 500 GB Seagate Momentus 5400.6 in his computer, and tried using a flash drive with "Install OS X Mavericks" on it to install Mavericks on his new hard drive. No matter what, it wouldn't install. I finally was able to install OS X 10.9.4 on it by connecting the new hard drive to my computer with a USB hard drive enclosure. I put the hard drive back inside his computer and it wouldn't boot (stuck on the gray screen with apple logo and a spinning wheel). I then attached to the hard drive to his computer externally with the USB enclosure, and then it booted and worked perfectly.
    So, it seemed like the problem was with something inside his computer, but then I switched our drives, and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I put my original hard drive into his computer, and his new hard drive into my computer, and they both booted and worked perfectly, so I have no idea why his computer will not boot with the new hard drive internally.
    To summarize, his computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally (won't work if it's internal), and 2) my hard drive internally
    but my computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally AND internally, and 2) my hard drive internally.
    Both hard drives have OS X 10.9.4 installed
    If anyone has any idea what's causing this and how to make his computer work with the new hard drive internally that would be greatly appreciated.

    So after switching the internal SATA cables from each computer, now we have
    His computer, with my SATA cable:
    1) Worked with every hard drive!
    My computer, with his SATA cable:
    1) Works with 1 TB Toshiba hard drive
    2) Works with 500 GB Seagate hard drive
    3) Works with my original hard drive
    4) Flashing folder with question mark with his old hard drive
    So it turns out you were right! Definitely had something to do with the SATA cables. But it's still strange that mine was able to boot with all the hard drives except the one that was originally in his. So it seems like it was some combination of his SATA cable and something else, since when his SATA cable was in his computer only 1 hard drive (my original) worked, and when it was in my computer, 3 hard drives worked. But at least its working, and I'm just gonna keep our SATA cables switched since that seems to work out fine

  • Computer won't boot up after installing SIIG card

    Hey Everyone,
    I having problems with my SIIG FireWire 2-Port PCIe DV card that I've installed into my PowerMac G5 Quad. With the card installed the computer will not boot up, which is the same thing that happened with my previous two models of the card. I installed a new card yesterday and it worked fine all day, but after shutting the computer down for the night and then restarting it in the morning I am experiencing the same problems. The light on the front of the computer turns on, but the screen does not, and after about a minute a loud fan noise comes one. I have the card installed in Slot 2. In Slot 1 I have a ProTools HD card and in Slot 3 I have an AJA Kona LHE card. Even with all of the cards removed the computer still does not boot up. Anyone seen this problem before? Any help or information anybody can offer would be greatly appreciated.
    PowerMac G5 Quad   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi, I had the same problem with my dual core G5.
    I installed the card and my computer won't boot up. The screen stays gray and the fan keeps spinning.
    I contacted SIIG and they said the card is defective, which, I doubt it is.
    I then returned it for a refund.

  • Macbook pro won't boot with two new 4GB RAM sticks.

    I have a mid 2010 Macbook Pro. It came with two 2GB RAM sticks. After downloading Lion, my computer started to get sluggish so I thought I would upgrade the ram. I bought two 4GB Corsair RAM sticks and tried to install them. My computer will boot up if I install one of the new 4GB sticks and leave an old 2GB stick; but it won't boot with both of the new 4GB sticks. Any ideas?

  • System won't boot with incorrect date/time

    Hey, I setup a computer back home for VNC, however there was a power outage and now the BIOS has reset. Unfortunately it defaults the date to 2099 for some reason, anyway now the computer won't boot (I can't remember the exact error). Anyway the trouble is I can't access that computer now, and it has no monitor hooked up, is there anyway I can force a boot with just keyboard and without setting the correct date in the BIOS (no one with access to the computer could do this).
    Appreciate any help.

    You can try to just press F1.
    I have a similar issue with my home server, the battery on the motherboard is dead so when the pc is powered off for a while it will not remember the clock. When trying to boot the system in such a case it spits out an error where it offers to "ignore" the error if you press F1.
    In my case I need to wait until my pc beeps before pressing F1, basically you need to get past the BIOS stage.
    With a bit of luck it might work for you too.
    Also I hope you have some ntp service running on your system to make sure the date gets set correctly on your system on bootup.
