Try to flash update the bios.
Went ahead and tried that, cleared both cmos and reapplied the BIOS(it was already at the latest version). No luck. Tried with a different miner as well, saw the same behavior, so at least I can say that it's not just ewbf's miner. But why this is happening, can't figure out. Thanks for the advice though.
Yes, I had the same issue. Use Display Driver Uninstaller to remove all traces of the Nvidia drivers. Shutdown. With all 6 cards connected to the motherboard, restart. Reinstall Nvidia drivers, wait a long while as it works through all 6 cards. That solved the problem for me and it was driving me nuts.
Yeah, tried doing this multiple times. Unfortunately, always the same result. Don't actually have the sixth card yet, as I saw this problem, wanted to fix it before I sprang for another card. It's really just bizarre, again, the card plugged into the x8 slot when the x16 slot is occupied shows up in device manager, overclocking programs. And the port itself is functional, know this through a pcie wifi card I used. But for some reason it's not picked up by miners. The most annoying thing is, I swear it worked when I had all the pieces loose, hooked up everything loose to test/configure. I was able to use the port and get it working, I'm almost 95% sure. Once I put everything together in the rig is when it stopped working, or so I think. What could have changed, I don't know. Maybe the board is just bad, but no way to know without a multi-week rma that may or may not turn up anything. I'm inclined to say it's functional due to the fact that another device works in the slot, but having a card there is clearly not working. I'll try to clean them again and see if it works, though I'm not holding out too much hope. Thanks for the tip though.
