Got my new fancy MSI 5850, installed, and no post. No bios codes either, fans are turning, can hear harddrives working, etc.
Asus K8N-DL Motherboard. No Overclocking.
Put the old 8800gt back in, no problem booting. Tried the new 5850 in my son's computer, and it WORKS !?!?
Sure its motherboard/psu problem right ? Not by the look of it.
Corsair 750 TX PSU. Latest bios for motherboard.
Oh no my motherboard isn't compatible !?!?!
Nope, PCIe spec compliant, and by the look of it many people with many different kinds of motherboards are having the exact same problem.

Talk about pissed off, I've been building computers for years, and I'm a computer programmer. I bet you $1000 these new radeon 5800 cards need a gfx-bios update to be fully compliant with pcie standards.
