So recently I built a computer and obviously I'm a big noob at it because it's still not working...big sigh. Everything works fine except the graphics card. My first one worked fine for about a week and my monitor would just randomly go black with no display at all but the sound would still work and everything. The integrated graphics in the motherboard works so I just thought it was a faulty graphics card, so i replaced the graphics card for a new one of the same kind and now it's doing the same thing. Monitor is going black and won't show any display. So I am out of options of what is wrong with it...
The graphics card is: XFX R9 290(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150697)
and the motherboard is: Gigabyte GA- Z97X-SLI 1150(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128714)
My power supply is 1000W so I know I have enough power, so I'm wondering maybe XFX is just a piece of crap or maybe they aren't compatible? Idk, hopefully some of you smart computer people will know what's wrong lol.
