i recently got a goldfinger adapter from www.k7oc.com
but for some reason it isn't working.....my processor works fine without the card on it
but once i attach the card then it no longer boots.
i have set the core voltage on the card and in BIOS the same all the way from 1.30 to 1.70
i have it on an Athlon 750. i even set the multiplier speed on the card to 750 too but it wouldn't boot, what could be wrong with this here?

I'm gonna give you my worldly advice because same thing happend to me..I simply had the GFD on the wrong way....try turning it around....I know it sounds stupid..but I had mine on the wrong way and NO POST...
If that isn't the problem..then make sure you have the CPU firmly in the slot...these sound like trivial things that can happen..but they do..I'm living proof...

Yeah i took the processor out and reseated it 3 different times, and also turned the GF around too, still wouldn't boot up.....i thought they might have put the connector on wrong, but no luck

ok..my next thought..are you overclocking via the FSB too?? if so then set it back to default...and if your not OC'ing via FSB..then I would send back the GFD...sounds like its defective...
Just my .02 worth..
