Title: Can't install GPUs on 1x slot Post by: AndrewK on September 06, 2012, 08:16:35 PM Hey guys
I have a gigabyte 890gp-ud3h motherboard and I cannot instill gpus on the 1x slots... Doesn't matter the GPU or how many are in the comp... If one card is being used in 1 pci-e 1x slot the computer will boot but I cannot install drivers for the cards(using ati)... Maybe I'm doing something stupid... But even with 2 cards in the 16x slots... If I add a card to any of the 1x slots... It isn't recognized. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I'm assuming that you have it powered correctly with a ribbon cable? Title: Re: Can't install GPUs on 1x slot Post by: AndrewK on September 06, 2012, 10:01:00 PM I have it powered with the 16x to 1x riser... And whatever additionaly pci-e power cords are required based on card...
I uninstalled 12.6 and I am installing 12.8 now to see if that works... I have a 5850 in the 16x slot and a 5970 in a 1x slot to test. Title: Re: Can't install GPUs on 1x slot Post by: AndrewK on September 06, 2012, 11:25:03 PM So now I can't get 12.8 to work either... Everything installs but the drivers... I have the original setup that was working this morning... 2x 5850s and I can't get drivers to install at all.
Anybody know some good driver sweeping programs? Title: Re: Can't install GPUs on 1x slot Post by: DOH! on September 06, 2012, 11:31:48 PM So now I can't get 12.8 to work either...

Title: Re: Can't install GPUs on 1x slot Post by: AndrewK on September 07, 2012, 04:09:13 AM I finally had to repair windows... I feel like I have to repair windows 7 every month or so... I guess I'm switching out hardware pretty often but I hope windows 8 improves in this arena.
Anyways, still can't get the 1x slots to work but I will try researching it a little.

Shot in the dark, try disabling onboard audio/usb 3 ports/raid controllers?

Title: Re: Can't install GPUs on 1x slot Post by: AndrewK on September 07, 2012, 12:44:14 PM Nope... that is on the agenda for this weekend... Will update when I try it. Visiting the girlfriend a couple hours away though so I probably won't get to it till sunday. Sucks, cause I have 2 or 3 cards just laying around at the moment.
Also picking up a board/cpu/and ram for $45 this weekend so that should be remedied no matter what! Thanks guys Title: Re: Can't install GPUs on 1x slot Post by: ARapalo on September 08, 2012, 11:40:55 PM Test each slot and the extender ribbons individually to make sure all of them work. If they all work find individually, it might be a motherboard limitation in how the BIOS is coded, or bad drivers from ATI.
