Title: Boot display signal sent to card without a monitor Post by: Fuzzy on August 29, 2012, 08:11:25 AM I've had this problem since last year, and I'm wondering if there's an easy fix I'm missing.
When I boot my PC with 4 cards, the boot display signal is always sent to the card in the lowest PCIe slot (furthest from the CPU), whether it has a monitor plugged in or not, which doesn't make any sense. Any easy fix for this?

Usually you can only pick from PCI/PCIe/AGP/Onboard but not which actual PCIe. In my experience, it is the closest one to the cpu which has a display connected.
Good luck. Title: Re: Boot display signal sent to card without a monitor Post by: crazyates on August 29, 2012, 06:39:18 PM Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to choose this on most boards.

Actually, a lot of motherboards, so let you choose which individual slot to use. On mine, they're labeled as PEG1, PEG2, etc. Title: Re: Boot display signal sent to card without a monitor Post by: pintycar on August 29, 2012, 06:47:11 PM Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to choose this on most boards.

Must be the budget ones I'm used to then. ;) Title: Re: Boot display signal sent to card without a monitor Post by: AndrewBUD on August 29, 2012, 09:54:39 PM Even lower end mobo's usually have a PEG1 peg2 and so on selection.... my old old 790gx AMD board had this...
Good luck.... |
