Well excuse me for doing things the way I've always done them for the last ten years...

I found an old PCI card (an old Diamond Stealth 4Mb card...dear god is it old!)and used that, and hey it works! Full POST successful. I changed the voltage settings on the memory to prefered setting and then tried the X1950XTX and no joy (though I don't see any reason why that should work really). So at least I know it is either the PCIe power connector (whose voltage on both connectors seems OK according to my voltmeter) or the X1950XTX is dead, unless anyone knows of some cunning BIOS setting to make everything work :).
 
id just blame it on the gfx card, but im just saying that cuz i know my pci-e slot works fine.

last resort is to try another pci-e card in your setup. if it works then rma your x1950xtx and be done with it.

first rule of fixing a pc, do it so that it takes as less time as possible and costs you the least amount of cash.
 
I had the same problem with a P5W DH & a HIS X1900XT, its the graphics card that is b0rked.
Was told to RMA mobo & ram (worked ok)
Sent gfx card OcUK sent me a new one & the mobo posted first time.

Be carefull with putting the mobo on a antistatic bag. Some of the bags have metal wiring on the outside, causing a short.

U are seriously undervaluing the advice that can be found on a forum such as this. If the only port of call u had was the original manufacturer, even if u had bothered to post ** specifications and exact detail on what u had tried ect; there is no guarentee of the quality of the reply.

Here u will find many people as qualified to be a PC troubleshooter/support guy as anyone, and u have the advantage that a bogus piece of advice will be spotted almost immediately.
