Hi,
I have put a video card in the PCI E x1 slot but at startup it says "Slot 4 failed to initialize" Does anyone know how to fix this? I also saw something that you maybe had to short something on the x1 slot.

Thanks!

I did not hear anything more from you, how it is going.
If the problem still there, do you get option to press F1 to continue and F2 to go to setup? Or you are getting "Slot 4 failed to initialize" and PC freezes?

Hi sorry for the late response,
I bought a new GPU and put in my only x16 slot but I saw something on the internet that you can cut of some pins off of your GPU so it would fit in the x1 slot. I did that and it fitted perfectley but now when I start up it says slot 4 won't initialize (The x1 slot). If there is no way to fix it it doesn't matter coes it's the old GPU and I don't think I'll be getting a lot of extra performance out of it.

Thanks!

You did what? Cut part of GPU motherboard or pins out, you are nut! Who advices this, this person is a$$hole, why you did not want to use PCIE, is that was due to the error message?
Now you have wasted GPU, and does it work?
Can you provide a link to this suicidal advice please.

Good it was an old card. And the person in the link is crazy at least, will read more later, I have 2 old cards, need good dremmel myself now, hm (they both unfortunately AMD and I have NVIDIA, oops).

Ow and I only had 1 x16 slot

So this PCIE slot doesn't work? Does this PCIE slot gives you this error message?

OK, Alain123, just to clear things and clarify your present situation.
When you install your video card (non cut) into PCIE, does it work? Or you have error message no matter what? I meant, do you have normal, non cut GPU and used normal GPU?
Forget about "special cut" one.
I am trying to find out if your PC is working under normal conditions!
