Title: help motherboard wont boot when 5850s added Post by: renodaret on July 26, 2013, 06:54:08 PM i have a gigabyte mobo
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231020261247?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 had 2 16x slots, figured it was a good deal. i get it today, and it has onboard video. fine. i hook it up with a hdmi cable and it posts and shows there is no hard disk to boot from. now i have a 5850 and plug it in the slot. turn it on, no video signal. not from the onboard video or the 5850. if i remove the 5850, bam onboard video card shows signal and it boots as before (no hard disk error) now its not the 5850 because i have 7 of them waiting for me to build machines for them, i tried a few and get the same results everytime. how can i fix this?? do 5850s only work in certian pcie slots or something? please help!

Title: Re: help motherboard wont boot when 5850s added Post by: Kneedle on July 27, 2013, 03:51:32 PM This is a long shot, but ensure that the PCIE Clock is set to Auto in the BIOS and not hard set to...say... ludicrous speed. Setting this value too high can cause the behavior you're experiencing. See section 2-3 in the manual:
