First off I hope your mining scrypt

-did you restart it?
-Three places to see if cards are recognized
   -device manager
   -gpuz
   -guiminer (or whatever miner you use)

what do each of these show?

sure it's scrypt and scrypt-N only mining
i try restart and changing the slots of the cards
but only 3
i checked using device manager only

but windows has no issue for 5  cards ?
am thinking to switch to ubunto to try
