I just bought a GTX 660ti superclocked card to use in my EVGA Z-68 FTW motherboard. The problem I am having is this.....when i install the new card, I get an A2 code error message " IDE detect" message. Will the 660 ti sc card which is PCIE 3.0 work in my motherboard which is PCIE 2.0? Thanks for any help in advance.

yes - all connections are good and the card is seated. The Z-68 board has 3- 16x PCIE 2.0 slots. i tried the new card in every slot - and it's not working. When I put my old card (GTX570 sc) back in, the computer fires right up. I have received dead products from EVGA before - so, it's most likely that. Thanks for your help.
