Hi there,
I recently bought a 5850 that was either working or not working(unspecified) for cheap. I plugged it into my pcie on my mobo and it came up with error 2e. Assuming that it wasn't working I took it out and put my working 6870 back into the mobo pcie slot. There is now no output display from the 6870. I have two working 6870's, I've now tried them both to no avail, I've double checked all connections, psu is fine, tried swapping out ram etc and tried multiple pcie slots. I can hear the computer booting to windows(hard drive loading) even though there is no display. Any ideas what this could be? Shorted pcie? Hopefully not a new mobo! Thanks.
