Problems running PCI-E on DFI SLI-DR

Im having a problem running pci-e graphics cards on my dfi sli-dr. I had a Leadtek 6800GT which ran fine in the system for ages. While reinstalling some hardware i took the card out a put it back in a few times. After booting up the bios screen was corrupted. I tried everything and couldn't get it to work so i assumed that the card was dead. I replaced it with an inno 6800Gt. On booting up its exactly the same (albeit not half as bad). The weird thing is it runs an old PCI graphics card fine.

Ive tried :

Resetting cmos
Plugging in 4pin molex and floppy to mobo
trying 6pin pci-e adapter instead of native PSU 6pin
Increasing pci-e frequency in bios.
Taping insulating tape round 6800gt bracket incase its shorting on something.
Checked fans working fine.
Updated to latest bios.
reset cmos another 100 times.

Any ideas?
