Goes blank when exactly? Do kernel and initrd load first? Do you see any boot 
messages before a shell prompt or login greeter are supposed to appear? If 
Plymouth is installed, have you tried removing it?

Did you try the driver that supports both gfxchips? Devs are trying to get away 
from chip-specific drivers:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-Debian-Abandon-Intel-DDX

In Jessie the modesetting driver is still a separate package, but beginning in 
server 1.17 it's built into the server. With the modesetting X driver installed 
and ATI and Intel drivers purged, modesetting ought to be used automatically for 
both chips, unless that R9 270X, which according to Wikipedia doesn't seem to 
exist, is too new to be supported without enabling any optional repo, or at all.
