Video card problem with HX1000

[cody45]

I just purchased 2 BFG GTX 285's and the HX1000. The problem is that when I try to run both cards it won't send a signal to the screen. At first I had a bad card and exchanged it for a new one. When I tested it it posted fine. I add the card that worked the night before in the bottom slot and no post. Checked the older card in slot one and again no post. I then tried my 9800GTX OC cards in SLI and it worked fine. I just called BFG and they feel the original card also went bad. I have always used BFG and only had one fail prior to this. IT seems strange that a card worked lat night and died after trying to run in SLI. Any way, I was wondering if it might be the PSU. By the way, one of these 285 blows away the 9800's in SLI! Now if i could only see two of the running together! Thanks for listening and any thoughts would be helpful

If the HX-1000 is running the 9800s fine, then it's probably just really bad luck with the 285s. There's no reason it would work with 1 and not the other.

 

Also, did you attach the 285s to the appropriate PCI-e connectors? Put 1 on the hard wired connectors and the other on the modular connectors. Don't mix them.

You got it right. Bad luck follows me everywhere I go. Thanks, Joe:wall:
