I have an Asus P5N-E SLI mobo and an 8800GT installed - all works
fine.
I want to run three screens using SoftTH so have to install a second
graphics card (not in SLI).
With the Asus, it has a little daughterboard that needs to be reversed
to allow the second PCI-E slot to work for graphics (SLI or Not SLI) -
it basically splits the 16x channel into two 8x channels.
So, with the daughterboard in dual graphics card mode, when I put the
second graphics card in the PC refuses to boot. I get a beep code
error (1 long 3 short beeps) which indicates a graphics failure. If I
remove the second 8800 but leave the daughterboard set for two
graphics cards, I get the same problem.
Switch the daughterboard for single graphics and the single card works
fine, put in a second and it is ignored by the system. The other card
works fine too.
Only things that I can see that may be wrong is:
>CPU is mildly overclocked but rock solid - could that be an
issue?
>BIOS stated something about my DDR2 RAM not being 'SLI Ready' -
don't have any other RAM to swap out and try.
Can anyone suggest what I may be doing wrong, or how I can get the PC
to boot with a second graphics card installed?
Thanks!
