Okay, so my GTX 670 just came and I plugged it all in, P8P67 PRO Rev 3.0. But it will not boot, I stuck my 560TI back in and it booted straight away.

However, I'm sure it is actually booting as I can hear the windows sounds in the background. I'm sure I have the latest Bios version but will check now, anyone have any ideas?

The fans and LEDs on the card run fine however the Red LED on the motherboard stating a PCIE error lights up.
 
Only thing i can suggest really are the obvious things, check youre using the correct PCI-E power cables, try a different output/cable on the card and then try another pci-e x16 slot if you have one.

What PSU do you have?
 
I have tried, HDMI, DVI, VGA, VGA/DVI, HDMI/VGA. I've tried it in different PCIE slots, I've also mixed around the 4 6pin connectors I have as I'm coming from SLI.

The power supply is a 750W NZXT Hale90.
 
Windows actually boots, I can hear it. It just doesn't display anything on the monitor and the PCIE LED is coming on the motherboard.
 
Did you uninstall the drivers prior to installation?

Edit: It sounds like the PC is booting fine but with the graphics card disabled in Device Manager hence the booting sounds but no display.

I didn't think having the drivers installed would cause this? I'll swap back and do it now.

It shouldn't but your drivers are expecting 560Ti SLI to be there and then a 670 is. Normally you'd expect it to pick it up but it's worth trying...

I think the problem could also be if you're coming from 560Ti SLI then the drivers are trying to automatically enable SLI which it obviously cant and then the card disables in Device Manager.
 
Maybe this is a PCI ex tuning problem. Are you on the latest Bios????

In your Bios can you force the cards to run in Gen 2 mode. This can often solve this problem .
 
I am not familiar with that bios. In the ROG Boards its under advanced tab and graphics config. You will need to search around. It will say auto now change to gen two with 560 in system save and reboot. Then change cards.

A bios update may also help are you on the latest to make sure you have the latest PCI Ex tuning codes.

I've tried another slot, I've uninstalled the drivers too. Nothing at all.

I'm sure I am using the latest bios as I updated a month back but the latest is from the 04/12.

I read that this motherboard doesn't support PCIE 3.0 but I thought they were all reverse compatible?
