    Hi all, my first post! :chk:

    I'm hoping someone can help me since I'm at a loss, I just bought an asus crosshair ii mobo and 2 9800gx2 (just wanted to say i have quad sli :D) but it wont boot with both cards in!

    I'f i just use the one gx2 it boots fine and works a treat but the second i put the 2nd card in it hangs on "pci init" on the LCD screen thing.

    What i have noticed is that when i have one card in (either of the 2) when it loads the light goes blue, before then its green, both cards will go blue if their on their own but if i have them both in only the one will, so its as if the second (lower) card refuses to boot.

    Has anyone got any suggestions?

    My Rig:

    Asus Crosshair II Formula,
    AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition
    8GB OCZ 1066MHz Platinum
    EVGA 9800GX2 SC SUPERCLOCKED Edition x2
    Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W PSU


    P.S is it normal that you have to plug the monitor into the bottom slot on a gx2?


    Sorry for the longish post but I'm at a loss :(

    Thanks All
    Julian
