I have disabled the floppy drove, FDC controller, I have disabled sound, I have not disabled USB as the mouse and keyboard are in fact USB, I have switched video from onboard to PCIE, still the same result. While I trouble shoot is there a possibility that a board just is not able to accept 2 cards with a riser, or that is not really an option ?

try to Set your PCIe in your Bios to lower such as Gen1

in any case if still cant detect it, you may consider buying a newer boads

there are a lot of decent second hand boards out there for less than 50bucks

yeap, seems you do not have enough PCE-e lanes and the only way for you to use gpus and network is to disable something, as posted already - you may disable internal sound.. or you may try a second option, disable network card in bios and use usb network card) might work

Looks like you are run out on your PCIE Lanes, have you tried disabling other on board perf like USB and sounds thru motherboard Bios?

Same thoughts as this guy. Here is a step-by-step of what you need be doing:

1. reboot computer.
2. open BIOS settings.
3. go to PCIE configuration
4. disable HD audio, and USB functionality
5. save and restart computer
6. shutdown
7. install GPUs
8. boot computer
