4850 x2 from sapphire doesnt output signal when pair with this motherboard! i tried it on a gigabyte 780g and it works!, anyone have an idea? I tried every conceivable method swapping everything back and forth and it seems to be the motherboard, I have the latest bios (14).

When i put a 1900xt in one slot with the 4850 x2 on another i was able to install windows xp and it seems the motherboard doesnt even see the card!!, the fan spins up when i turn it on and everything looks normal calling abit right now anyone have a good idea?

LOLcats x4 is a wee bit low and will limit its performance!

does anything work in the x16 slot? it may be broke.

yes an 1900xt will work in both x16 slot just not the 4850 x2 i think its an electrical problem. I read a newegg review where a person had to up the voltage to populate all four slot of memory. So tonight i sat there and up the voltage 1 mv per setting per time. Nothing. Time to call it a day and get a new mb?
