Help required please :)

I'm running TriSli Titans and have been for the past 4 weeks without issue.

Turned pc on this morning loaded up BF4 black screen, audio playing in the back ground.

Tried various other games and benches (stock settings) the same result - PC does not shut down.

I can run any 2 out of 3 cards in sli so all cards work ok, but when testing individually can't

get a picture when connecting the monitor to the 3rd card

Done all the usual basic fault finding and swapped out the psu (EVGA G2 1300).

I have a feeling my PLX chip is borked, but as this is my first mobo with one I'm out of my depth.

I've probably missed something basic but I'm now at a loss as to my next move.

So here's hoping one of you kind souls can point me in the right direction.

 
Hi, Nick

Did all those earlier - no joy :(

Reflashed my cards bask to original bioses too and removed the OC to rule out a Power issue.

Trying to find if there is a way to test the PLX chip but google is failing me.

Done threads on both ROG and OC.net so hopefully someone will have a idea as I'm all out.

Will give it a few more days as I can still run Sli so all is not lost. :)

One thing that is throwing me -

I can run the card in slot 3 which is controlled by PLX in Sli but not in TriSli.

So this points to it not being the PLX :confused:
 
Not that I can see, as soon as I switch the 3rd lane on the PLX chip comes into use.

Don't think I any choice but to strip it down and RMA the mobo.

Times like this I regret not just getting the Black and a 4930K :(
 
Think you are right about the PLX chip being ok

Tried 3 different bridges so it's not that.

Will have a better look at everything tonite

I've no doubt it's something and nothing, probably leading to me being embarrassed :o
 
Well, where do I start

Last night I re flashed the mobo - re installed windows and everything else.

Re connected every cable.

Guess what - The damn thing works as it should

Good old user error at it's best :o
