I am having terrible problems with my PC lately. I am usually capable
of solving any problem on my own, but this one is just causing me too
much stress. On top of it all, I am geeksquad certified at Best Buy,
and I still cant take care of it.
The setup:
MSI P4N SLi mobo
3.2ghz P4 Ht
1.5gb DDRII Ram
74gb Raptor
2x 250gb WD
2x px6800gt TDH
The Dilema:
Everything up until I got my second video card worked perfectly. To
start things off, I had SLi at one point in time, with the same two
video cards now, but I sold one when it was still a bit overkill, so I
could wait until now to buy one again when the prices dropped like a
brick. I got a second px6800gt again now, and I cant get it to work
with the SLi. The chip on the board is setup to function properly with
8x8 PCI-e instead of 16x1. My bios PCI-e aperture is setup for PCI-e.
Whenever I go to install drivers for the VGAs, its fine with the first
one, but when it goes to install to the second, it crashes just before
it would have finished (same thing every attempt), and it restarts to
later flash a blue screen so quick I cant quite read it all, then
after restarting again (before windows could even boot), it prompts
safe mode, and the only way out of the loop is to go into safe mode
and uninstall the drivers over again. Im tired of trying different
things. Both video cards work, as I tested them as the primary card in
a 16x1 setup. My bios and drivers for my mobo are updated as well as I
can think. Im willing to negotiate if you make this work for me. |
