If anyone can help with this that would be awesome.
Just to clarify my guess is my power supply isn't up to par for what I need it to do however it doesn't explain why single card won't load anymore.
I'm runnign Windows Vista 64 bit, with Asus P5K-E Mobo, 4gb ram 465W psu
My original card is Ati Asus 3850. (everything is fine)
Received a ATI Sapphire 3870 today and installed in primary PCI-E slot, and started computer (without 3850). Got driver errors was asked to reboot, did so and now computer will not boot, simply says Boot error reboot and select primary boot drive or install boot disc. If i put in my vista DVD and try to repair, it can't find the restore files. I tried to replace the new card with the original card and still no luck. Same problem. I would like to not have to reinstall vista and loose what i've setup at this point so any help would be great. Thanks
Conclusion:
Either PSU is just way too underpowered (not explains why single card doesn't work) conflict btwn Sapphire 3870 and Asus 3850.
