Hi Everyone,

I just put together a new media server using an AMD A10-7860K processor and a Gigabyte GA-F2A88X-D3HP motherboard.

When I have just the CPU/Motherboard/Memory and Power Supply assembled, the computer POSTs fine. However, when I added my two Hauppauge HVR-2250 tuner cards, Intel EXPI9402PT dual-network card and Areca ARC-1882i RAID controller, the system would no longer POST.

I have narrowed it down to a problem between the PCIEX4, PCIEX1_2 and PCIEX1_3 slots. I can populate any one of these three slots individually with any of the above cards and the system POSTs fine. However, if I populate any two of those slots with any combination of two cards the system no longer POSTSs.

Does anyone have any experience with this particular motherboard or any suggestions on what to try?

Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Pulled off their product specification's page:
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16)
* For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot.
(The PCIEX16 slot conforms to PCI Express 3.0 standard.)
* To support PCI Express 3.0, you must install an FM2+ APU.
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4)
* The PCIEX4 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX1_2/3 slots. When the PCIEX1_2/3 slots is populated, the PCIEX4 slot will operate at up to x2 mode.
3 x PCI Express x1 slots
(The PCIEX4 and PCI Express x1 slots conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.)
2 x PCI slots

How about going wireless internet instead of the LAN card? This may...

How about going wireless internet instead of the LAN card? This may sound like a bad advice but you could take advantage of the onboard Raid function from the A88X chip.

I know that it is LATE to answer to this BUT FRIEND I HAVE THE EXACT SAME MoBo and have the same issue too..
I just bought 2 RX 550 to expand my mining.. PCIe x16 and PCIEx4 slots already used by XFX RX 460 and Gigabyte RX 550
After my cards arrived, ok, i plugged it to the top PCIex1 slot. Everything ok, super, hashrate at 1500H/s cca with all these 3.. (XMR minin)
But after i wanted to add the second new RX550 (sapphire pulse RX550 2GB GDDR5 OC), NO POST. I tried everything.. Both risers are 100% ok, cards the same.. Pretty annoyin since the manufacturer says something about shared lanes but THEY'RE LYING! So my last bet is to buy another riser and try to run that Gigabyte (PCIex4 slot) on the same slot BUT on riser (so it won't use full x4 lanes, letting some lanes free) and maybee it will work..
OR - I'll try to use only that 2 PCIex1 slots (under the PCIex16 of course).. Wish mee the luck
