    Hello all... I have a P5N32-SLI Deluxe. Problem I have is using the EZ plug right in between the 2 PCI 16 slots. I'm trying to install 2 512mb nvidia cards, both of which are 2 slot cards. Top most card has its cooling fan directly over the the plug! When you plug it in, it pushes up against...

    Half Life 2 knocks out monitor!

    Thx for reply ) Yes, with the monitor out and a black screen from trying to run the game, I'm forced to hit the on/off switch to restart windows.
