No it's shows installed, but no lights on the back. (that's new) I used to be able to uninstall the driver then boot and windows would find it, then connect. It won;t even do that now. I've tried win xp32, 64, win 7 and several fresh installs of each. I have pci-e locked at 100 but I'm not convinced it's locked and maybe it's corrupting the driver once I overclock. I'm using a usb right now to type this, but even it fails, so I have to uninstall the driver then restart, even that does not work all the time, so I have to uninstall the device not just the driver. The only thing I do know is this is my 3rd GB motherboard and the last two ended up in the trash and this one looks like it's headed that same way.
