Ok heres the deal I just swapped a my old board with a Asus A8N32-SLI . Im only using 1 video card (8800). I got everything installed it powers up but no video signal. I know my card is working cause I had it up before I installed my new ASUS A8N32-SLI. Is there a jumper setting or something for using a single video card on an SLI board? I AM TRYING NOT TO TELL MY SELF ITS THE MB? I dont have any extra PCI-e cards to test with. Please any sugestions?????? O yea and I also swapped the DVI cables too......
Help please......

I checked everything all looks good...... Also I cleared the CMOS, (took battery out for 10min.) I tried booting up with 1 dimm. It comes up to the inital A8N32-SLI screen where it gives the option for setup or post and it just freezes there??????? What do ya think? :cry:

It sounds like the RAM, the first thing the computer does on POST is a RAM check if there is a problem with it that could explain the hang.
