Biostar Tforce 6100-939 PCI-e problem?

Hello, I was wondering if I could get some help here.

I installed a new system with this Biostar motherboard. It worked perfectly fine but when I installed the Geforce 6800GT card, I would get no signal to my monitor. I would get a signal from the integrated GPU, but not from my vid card (which is the one I want to use) no matter what I set in the bios (apparently you can't disable the onboard GPU, the PCI-e one is supposed to override it). I tried the card on another system and it worled fine. I made sure to connect the PCI-e power to the card and that the card is well connected. I cleared CMOS and everything. Is my 16x PCI-e slot on the 6100-939 board bad? What else can I do to troubleshoot?

So has anyone elsa had this problem? Please help! Thanks!
 
You should try to borrow another PCI-E card to test. I have a Geforce 6200 card for testing purposes and it wouldn't work in one motherboard I had (ECS NFORCE4-A754) but the card was fine in other boards and the board was fine with other cards. Go figure.
 
The EVGA GF 6200 card works with the ECS NF4 754. Perhaps this MB not compatible with another brand.

I also have another cheap passively-cooled Nvidia GeForce 6200 LE that's 100% compatible with the ECS NF4 754 (driver 84.21 from the Nvidia website).
 
If two otherwise functional cards don't give a picture in the Biostar board, then it does sound like a bad slot.

furballi, the card I have is an MSI 6200TC. It works fine in other boards but just won't give a picture in the ECS board. Other cards worked fine in the ECS board and the card that stayed in the board when I sold it in a system was a Sapphire Radeon X800GTO.
