Is the 'Single/Dual card' setup for Single or Dual videocards?
Please generate and post an nvidia-bug-report.log. Thanks, Lonni |

I'm not sure what you mean by single/dual card setup. I didn't see anything like that in my bios but it may be something I overlooked.
I tried to attach a bug report but I get this: "Your file of 128.2 KB bytes exceeds the forum's limit of 100.0 KB for this filetype." I uploaded it to my website http://www.ghetto-technology.net/nvidia-bug-report.log Last edited by munsen; 04-15-06 at 09:33 PM. |

On your motherboard (or at least the picture of your motherboard on Asus's website), there is a card that controls whether you are trying to drive two videocards for SLI, or one videocard. Typically, this card sets the PCI-E lane width between 16x and some lower number.
Thanks, Lonni |

Now I feel a bit stupid hehe. That was the problem. At some point when I was building this box I completely overlooked that card. Now it works. Thanks 100,000,000 times over.
