Unfortunately I think my 2nd x16(x8) slot is going bad in my p6n-platinum. Its either the slot going bad or my (tv tuner) has gone bad which is currently in the slot.
I tried moving my video card into 2nd x16 to see if the video card would work in that slot but it did not. I know this because i can remote desktop into the computer and it does not see a video card is installed.Then it dawn on me that maybe you cant run a video card ONLY from the 2nd slot?
Has anything every tried this and if not would someone out there try it for me (stick just one video card in the second x8 slot and see if it'll drive a monitor)? I know thats a huge favor but i'm trying to figure out if the motherboard needs to get RMAed or the tv tuner.
Everything was working fine yesterday and today no soup.
Any ideas out there?
