I just upgraded from an 8600gt to an MSI 8800gt, which arrived yesterday. I installed it in my computer and tried to boot, but did not get anything on the screen. After some research, I discovered that no one with my motherboard (Abit AN-M2 7025/630i) has been able to use an 8800gt because PCIe 2.0 is compatible with PCIe 1.1 and 1.0 but not 1.0a, which I surmise my mobo is. The solution for this is apparently to flash the 8800gt BIOS to PCIe Gen1, so I booted using onboard video, downloaded nibitor and nvflash (v.5.57), edited the BIOS and loaded them onto a bootable CD along with nvflash. Unfortunately, when I tried to flash the BIOS in DOS, it was unable to identify my 8800gt, but it did say
Note:Unconfigured display adapter found, device not accessible
It also mentioned that the unconfig display adapter had G-92 stepping, so I assume it is finding the card but not recongnizing it. Does anyone no how I can get around this and flash my BIOS anyway? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
