Question about MSI NX7800GTX-VT2D256E Lite GeForce 7800GTX, (256 MB) PCI Express Graphic Card
I have three motherboards, 1 is a MSI K8N SLI-F, the other two are both MSI K8n Neo4/SLI.
I have two NX7800GTX-VT2D256E, running in SLI mode.
When I install the video cards on the Neo4, Windows will not boot up, and at times, the bios wont post. I have reinstalled windows, ran it in safe mode, even tried to boot off of a Ubuntu and Arklinux boot CD to see if i could get at least a GUI to load. Nothing. I tried each video card in single mode, in both slots, and both of them together in each slot in SLI mode. Nothing.
I figure its the motherboard, because two video cards cant be broken. I put them into the other motherboard, same style neo4, same errors. I go out and buy a MSI K8N SLI-F. I put both cards in. Computer boots and installs windows and runs fine.
My K8N SLI-F is now broken, due to god knows what. Wont powercycle on after i moved into my new house. So, I want to use my old K8N Neo4. unfortunatly, i can only use it with my old 6800 GT, since the 7800 GTX dont work.
I have been trying to solve this one for at least a year. No one else seems to have a problem, at least that i know of. You would think a MSI product would be compatible with another MSI product. I am pretty convinced that the NX7800GTX-VT2D256E is incompatible with the K8N Neo4/SLI.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
What's the specs on your power supply. For SLI you need a good quality 500W+ PSU with lots of current on the 12V rails. Remember that all the drives, memory, fans, cpu, etc will use a lot of power, if there is not enough capability in your PSU, the voltage may drop low enough to stop it starting up.

The powersupply is 550 watts. The thing is, Ive had the 2 video cards working fine with the K8N SLI-F, with the SAME powersupply. Its the K8n Neo4 that has been the problem.
