help with graphics card

First off, do you have the card in the bottom PCI-E slot? On that board, the bottom slot is the master.

Also, the little add on card that came the motherboard, the DCCFX-P2 card, you should put that into the top slot so the bottom slot can run at full x16.

^^to the rescue

wow i should have never tried this

Of course you should because if you do not then the gpu you paid good money for would sit in your computer unused.

oh yea the card is in the bottom one and the graphics card is in the top one lol thanks ill try that when my bro comes home. hes like 60 times smarter then me so ill let him switch em just in case i mess something up

Yeah, that's probably your problem. The top slot is for the slave card in crossfire.

To double check, it actually says on the board "master" and "slave" above the respective slots.

thanks alot again everything is working great

oh yea before when i was running on integrated graphics i over clocked from 2.8 to 3.3 and (is it suppose to crash and then reboot when its done auto overclocking?) i ran a game and 6 mins in there was an error and it crashed do u think if i try it now it wont crash and it will be better?

How did you overclock? Through the BIOS or through a program?

It shouldn't have much to do with the video card, more with your overclock.

i overlclocked through the program my package came with its called T-utillity over clock III

Wouldn't use that, I would use the BIOS. No idea if the T-Utility actually works well.
