M4a89gto pro pciex16 problems

Test with another GPU, if doesn't work RMA the mobo.

mmm, small problem: this is the only non-agp vid card i have.
logic would dictate that if the vid card works on slot 2, and not 1, that the problem lies with the mobo anyway.

i was just seeing if anyone in this community has encountered the same problem, and found a fix

Hello from the world of tomorrow!!!! ... google result #2 for the phrase "M4A89GTO freezes".

This motherboard is designed with a small insert card that must go into PCIE_0, the top slot closest to the CPU if you are running in a single GPU configuration. Your video card only works in the bottom slot because it's designed to be done that way.

Read the manual. Seriously, It's right there. In Chinese-almost-English.

PS. If you don't have the small insert card your second slot will only ever hit x8, never x16.
