PCI Express Troubleshooting help

Oh I should mention that I had no issues setting up the box using a PCI vid card, ATI rage XL. It ran prime95 with no issues, system temp was stable at 53c or lower. the system runs really cool. Very nice case, I am impressed. Don't know if that helps or not.

i have tried it with the side of the case off and on, there is a 230mm fan on the side blowing in. Those temps were showing idle. My concern is if there is issues with some part of the build, psu or mobo, then I may fry the $400 card I just bought. I feel that would be bad. I am just not sure how to go about testing it. I am looking for a spare PCIe card a friend might have lying around. All my old cards are either AGP or that PCI test card.

yeah worked fine in the old build, dell dimension 8400. The FPS was starting to blow and it was time for an upgrade. I have not had a chance to stick it back in the hold system and fire it up. I don't expect there is anything wrong with it, which makes me suspect the mobo or PSU. Mainly the PSU since with a PCI card it was running fine with no issues at all. Or maybe the PCIe slots are bad on the mobo? I got now clue. Just a sad face.

there is 3 PCIe slots. 2 at x16 and one at x4. It does not show a primary but I tried both slot 1 and slot 2. Same results. There is a 6 pin PCIe power connection onthe back of the card that is plugged in. I tried a different cable of the PSU as well just in case one was bad. I slotted the card in the old system. Works fine. Shows GPU core and memory speed on the sensor tab in GPU-Z, which in the new system it did not. Also shows GPU temp and PCB temp, 76 and 55c repectivly. Shows fan speed at 45% too. On the new system is shows a bunch of different entries on the sensor tab. Both are version 0.3.6 of GPU-Z. I will try to get the new system booted up and get a screen shot if possible. But I don't feel there is an issue with the card, unless it is a compatibility issue with the new Asus P6T se board.

Is it possible that the board is delivering bad voltage to the PCIe slots? I have not even had a chance to install the nvidia drivers, running stock windows drivers. Not sure if it makes a difference but the OS is Win 7 Pro 64 bit. Going to try to boot it up and get a screen shot of the GPU-Z. There is quite a few details on the sensor tab that do not show up in the old system.

just a quick update. I did manage to get the latest nvidia drivers installed via remote desktop session, the video kept dropping on. After a reboot it seems to have stabilized a bit. The video is still not 100% in my opinion but I am attributing that to the lack of RAM on the card. I turned off all the aero stuff and that helped. I am hoping there is less issues with the new ATI card when it gets here. Thanks for the help.
