Thanks in advance for some help!
Installed EVGA GTX 760 superclocked today. Computer wont boot up. locks up at the bios level. Wont allow F8 or Delete keys. Tried removing old video drivers, same response. Card is pwr'ed correctly with both the 6 & 8 pin connectors. Old cards still work when re-installed. BIOS is the most recent - #3401

Update: If card is in the X8 slot it functions. The x16 slots cause the computer to freeze when booting up..

Bought it as an upgrade for a pair of 9800 GTX + in SLI as I want to move up to DX11 video games


MB: ASUS M3N-HT Deluxe mempipe
CPU: AMD Phenom ii 980 BE
PS: 875watt Thermaltake

Old thread i know.

Try the middle PCIE slot, dont ask me why but it worked for me with the M3NHT deluxe mempipe.

I think its an nvidia chipset/UEFIissue.
