i have a gigabyte mobo
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231020261247?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649had 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!
