The attempt was unsuccessful. The Poweredge defaulted back to the onboard video adapter and then the system halted with this error<br /><br />"PCIe training error in slot 3<br /><br />System halted!"<br /><br />Reinserting the Geforce 6800 restored full function to the Poweredge.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538266178421731221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10880212.post-71874399070724478962014-12-03T13:43:10.055-05:002014-12-03T13:43:10.055-05:00Not sure.

So I bought a bfg 8800gt 512mb card.<br /><br />I decided to cut a notch in the card and not on the back of the slot. My cut is good and in the right place!<br /><br />After installing the card I get the dell boot screen and the second screen that gives the boot options. I can get into bios and everything seems good until I try to boot off a drive and usb stick.<br /><br />I get a black screen for anywhere between 1s and 60s then it reboots. <br /><br />I have tried soldering a wire on the underside of the motherboard telling the board it is a x8 card (I think I soldered a1 and b49) but I still get the usual black screen.<br /><br />I have run the system barebones, with just 2gb ram, with and without the other pci-e slot filled, disconnecting the ssd and booting from a usb stick and I have also tried changing all the irqs around but I always get the black screen then a reboot. <br /><br />I will try the jumper wire setting the slot to x4 and if that fails to x1 but im wondering if anyone can help shed any light on my problem. Most say the card works out of the box (almost!) so maybe I just have a duff card?<br /><br />Thanks<br />RikOldMcDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13159622357617626539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10880212.post-5268535546983880242012-09-18T09:36:42.423-04:002012-09-18T09:36:42.423-04:00Zampaz,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but expect the worst. (Event though, like a lost love, I still have a soft place in my heart for the box)<br />3) I never got to solve the weird audio problem in Fedora..not sure if other distros have that problem.

See how your other distro's do..if you have to go to USB, then at least you have a solution.Cacasodohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422708734815721628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10880212.post-45392322361900997712012-08-13T16:44:29.840-04:002012-08-13T16:44:29.840-04:00I understand this is an old thread, but I am plann...I understand this is an old thread, but I am planning on picking up a SC1430 next week, I am getting it with 4gig ram and a pair of xeon quad cores for under $200... I am not a gamer so I am not concerned with playing high end games, but is the on-board video suitable for watching hulu or youtube videos? I usually watch vids now at 360p or 240p because my internet is so slow... I also use VLC to watch movies on my network and local hard drives... I am an avid Linux user, I was wondering if you could see any reason why Linux Mint 64 bit or Ubuntu 64 bit would cause me any problems. I will be using either Cinnamon desktop environment or XFCE. Also, was a solution for the funny noises when using a pci sound card ever cleared up? Would I just be better off getting a USB audio device instead? I appreciate any help you could provide, since I'm not really looking to buy a new video card I am hoping this will be suitable for my meager video tasks.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11035969499934858505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10880212.post-2430772362414249962012-08-06T11:38:36.978-04:002012-08-06T11:38:36.978-04:00DD,
