So did i burn up my mobo?

[Xatrix]

So my AGP 8x card does not work on this computer anymore but it works in another one.

AGP 4x cards do work however...

It used to work but now it stopped yet using the same agp slot you can get a 4x card working? Have you tried another 8x card in that agp slot? I didn't know you could mess up the agp slot so it would only run 4x but not 8x.

I dont have another 8x card...

This is the email I got from BFG on my vid card:


Matt,

Thanks for bringing the issue to us for advice.

This problem appears to be an issue with the motherboard. As much as
it may not seem like a big deal to move, add or change cables while the PC
is running, these situations can happen. Your issue is basically third in
the line of "worst case scenarios". The next up the chain is a completely
non-responsive system, and the First in the line is a fire or
electrocution occurred... So it's all-bad to do that. At this point, you're going to
need to contact Asus to have the motherboard repaired. The system now has an
issue with the slots, in particular the AGP slot. Most likely the
component failure is within the chipset stream. A slower card may not manifest
the problem in the way this EXTREMELY FAST card has. This would be due to
any of a number of reasons such as the pipelines to the processor, the voltage
delivery mechanism, or some other related device.

But, there is an outside chance that the issue is with the PSU in
the
system as well. If you try our card in the computer without the Audigy
in
it, what happens?

Thanks again and if you have any other questions please email us back
or

No ideas huh?

I didn't know you could mess up the agp slot so it would only run 4x but not 8x.

Possibly by installing/removing the vid card with 5v standby voltage still on. I.e., did not unplug pc or turn off rocker switch on psu.

Did you possible do that Xatrix?
