My theory is that my PSU can't supply enough power to run it at 16x . I really hope it is that, because it's an easy fix(once I get some money) . You might want to do some checking because my investigating says the board has 4 x pcie x16 slots . . . . . you might want to check the manufacturers site for issues etc . . . . also, unless the card can saturate pcie x 8, it WONT be restricted . . . . and AFAIK only the dual graphic cards show a difference between x8 & x16 . I would check for updated chipset drivers for AMD 790FX!	SolMiester (139)

Experimenting will have to wait until I get a new PSU though, as at the moment I have wait at least 10 minutes between shutdown and power on. If I don't, the RAM doesn't start and it used to give me a 'no video card' beep.	sammo450 (13626)
