GTX280 Problem

does the card sit flush in the pcie socket? my antec 900 must be faulty as when the mobo installed when i stick a card in it would sit up at a slight angle, i had to get little rubber things under the screws to push it up so the card would be seated perfectly.
Also does that board happen to have any extra pcie slots you can test?

being careful it is worth having a nose around the bios to see if any relevant settings might be affecting you

Cheers D13, The cards fits the slot no problem, have tried it outside the case also, same results. Yeah shame this mobo don't have any extra slots.

I did have a butchers in the bios but tbh i don't really mess about in there as i am a noob when it comes to the settings in there.

I am interested in upping the PCI-E voltage like Jigger mentioned, this is what i found in the bios

Robust Graphics Booster [Auto]

PCI Express Clock Drive [700Mv]

PCE Express Frequency(Mhz) [Auto]



which one of these should i play with?

cheers

also i know it is a bit of effort, but could you test the card in another system using the same psu? this would at least rule out any possible power issues

Tried it on another mobo with same components which was Asus P5N32-E SLi and worked fine no problems at all.

I've tried it with 1 stick of ram, then 2 sticks. Also removed sound card and Hard drives too still no luck
