Well i have this mobo:
Asus P5N-T Deluxe nForce 780i (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
and when placing my 8800GTX on the PCIe 2.0 x16_1 slot, (slow closest to CPU), my pc will not boot and i get the one long beep 3 short error. but i have the card in the PCIe 2.0 x16_3 slot (lowest one) and it boots up fine. I currently have everything else working on the board and using it at the moment, and going well.
The thing is, i got told the card should boot on any of the slots, so im wondering if there is something wrong as in can be fixed , i.e BIOS setting etc, or if the actual slot is screwed, which is rare? But i'm not sure what to do, if i should RMA the board or not. I mean everythings all done and in place, it would just be a hassle to take it all out , especially the CPU cooler/CPU which was a pain to get (Zalman CNPS9700-LED). Hmm ...
So any ideas? thoughts? keep the board as it is, and on next upgrade then get something else? Leave Sli out? wait for the next best thing? or go through the hassle :S hmm im not sure whats the best thing to do really, any thoughts?
Thanks
