Hello, I recently bought an Acer Aspire TC-105 UR11 model this summer. When purchased, I quickly installed a new power supply with a Radeon R9 270 video card for faster game performance. I have since realized I never use games that need nearly that much power and never will, so I'd like to sell the graphics card.
Therein lies the problem, I took the R9 270 card out of the slot, plugged up the monitor into my PC's built in video port, and it was dead. The computer won't even boot up.
I am at a loss for how to fix this as the A10 has a sufficient Radeon HD 8670D built in that I desperately want to use! Here are the steps I've taken so far:
1) browsed through all BIOS settings and cannot see an "enable" selection.
2) removed the battery on the motherboard to erase any settings
3) used the clear CMOS jumper to ensure any default settings were erased
No matter what I do, I cannot get the computer to even boot up when I take the R9 270 out of the PCI Express slot. The computer doesn't even get to the BIOS, it is dead.
What in the world is going on, any why would this be the case? The system works wonderfully otherwise. I would like to sell this card and need help!! Thanks to anyone who can help resolve this.
