I switched my video card to the second PCI slot (Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard) and everything was fine... Then someone suggested switching the little card between the SLI slots to 'Dual GPU' instead so I did and put the card back in the first slot and it worked again, but it only works when that is set to dual... At first I thought I had shorted the slot but what does that card do that would cause it to work when its set to dual, and why doesn't the slot work anymore on single... the card works in another machine, so the card isn't bad... oh yea the card is a nvidia Biostar geforce 7300GT If the question got lost in all that, I'm wondering why the slot wouldn't work on single GPU selected anymore... Posted by: sPlAtOiD What little card between the slots are you talking about. I have this board also and dont remember seeing a card. Posted by: shortman654 On the Deluxe model, if you look between the 2 PCI-E slots theres a small card to switch between single and dual graphics cards... [url]http://www.thg.ru/mainboard/20050605/images/asus-a8n-sli-big.jpg[/url] look at that pic between the PCI slots... (In your sig, you have the newer model.. if thats the board you still have thats why, the A8N32 got rid of it...) Posted by: sPlAtOiD Ok I just thought I missed something. vBulletin Copyright ©2000 - 2003, Jelsoft Enterprises Limited. PPC Management vB Easy Archive Final - Created by Xenon |
