firts, my specs:
thermaltake tr2-500 psu
spectek 1gb ddr3200 ram @ 2.5-3-3-7
athlon 64 core venice 3000+
wd 40gb sata (150) (system)
maxtor 160gb sataII (300)
ati radeon x1600pro with zalman cooler
no overclock at all
k8n neo4 platinum mainboard (cpb 1.0), i just got it from my brother, who had a 7600gt working ok
all the components are ok (im perfectly sure about that), but if i try yo boot with the vga in the pcie 16x slot, the mainboard won post. d-led shows pc hangs at "bios sing on", thats right after "initializing video interface". if i use a pci vga or i put the x1600 into the 2x slot, mainboard starts ok.
bios offers first search vga in: "pci" or "first pcie", i wonder if first pcie means that it will search for it in the 2x slot (wich is the first pcie slot if you count brom top to bottom)
any suggestions?
btw, sory for my bad english, im from chile
