On another post ,I said I bought a new mobo and put a 4x card in a 8x slot. The mobo may be 8x only because I dont have any graphics when I boot up. Before I invest in a 8x card I want to make sure the board is not doa. I have a geforce pci card . Is there any way to hook up a pci card without using the bios because obviosly I cant see any graphics with the 4x card?
