    Windows Freezing at Welcome Screen when Adding GPU to PCI Express Slots

    Ok, I settled down with randomly trying stuff and opened both my Asus manual and GPU manuals.


    Will a PCI-E x8 2.0 card work in a PCI-E x16 1.1 slot? [​IMG]


    Ok, maybe a slight oversight on by me. The connections on the gpus are pci-e x16.

    Motherboard supports 2x PCI-E x16 and 2x PCI-E x1. Could this be the reason I am only getting 2/4 working? Also perhaps my cards working in my other MB are x1 slots? If that's the case maybe if I run the splitter on a x16 slot I can get them to work?

    Can someone teach me the difference on this stuff if anyone knows? Thanks. But I think I "may" have the technical reason for my problem.

    Will a PCI-E x8 2.0 card work in a PCI-E x16 1.1 slot?

    Yes, it should. It will run at the slower speed.

  5. It'll work. There will be slow downs but it is very unnoticeable.

    Ati x800xl pci e?: Does the x800xl work in win 10 64? I just need it for testing because the psu I have is only 400w and the only other spare card I have is a GTX280 200+ watt that wouldn't even run on a 500w psu so with a 400w psu the gtx280 is out of the question. Thanks in advance. 70687
