my mobo is SLI ready. this new card i bought is Crossfire ready.

does that mean i cannot use it with my mobo even if its just a SINGLE card i want to use? i thought those parameters only applied once u start using two video cards.

are they incompatible even in a single card setup?
the mobo and card i mean

Yes, you can use a single card setup problem free.

Try these

1) Update BIOS

2) Erase any drivers from any other card you had before

3) Make sure you are not using on-board video

Learn this, learn it well, everyone who doesn't already know:

Any PCIe graphics card will work with any PCIe motherboard, with very few exceptions.
