    no video w new 8800gts + new p5k system

    i've tried the following with no luck: -both dvi connectors on the card -both pci-e 16x slots on the mb -unplugging all my drives and i've triple-checked that the card is seated properly, the 6-pin pci-e power connector is connected, etc.

    no video w new 8800gts + new p5k system

    for some reason i get no video from my 8800gts in my new p5k setup. the 8800 still works fine in my old mb, and my 6600 works fine in the new mb... the p5k w/8800 installed seems to be going through the normal boot process - theres hd activity and capslock turns on and off so it seems like...

    trying to keep cost down, new mb/cpu/ram - heres what i'm considering

    i'm pretty comfortable with overclocking so i'm hoping to get a big boost from that. any feedback would be appreciated. my main goal is a good price/perf ratio. not interested in being on the bleeding edge of anything :) G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual...

    considering the cheapest i've seen that card for is about $250 and that i can go pick this up today... pretty sweet as long as the rebates come through. i'll use the stupid keyboard for target practice or something.

    nvidia system sentinel power error - pci express 6600gt +enermax 470w psu

    well it wasnt the power supply. the card is in the mail to get replaced and i'm hoping to hell its the problem. if its the motherboard it looks like my only other option for a pci express + socket 754 solution is the MSI K8N Neo3-F which at the moment seems like a bitch to actually find...
