I upgraded from some older GTX 580, and GTX 680s (For sale if anyone is interested...PM me)

I run an older Quadro FX 5800 that used to run my monitors off. I want to switch the monitor duty to an installed standard titan.

I currently have 3 z's, a standard titan and the Quadro FX 5800 in my box.

All the monitors are plugged into the standard Z which runs fine... but when I take the Quadro out even though nothing is plugged into the system will not boot up.

If I place it back up into " (one particular PCI slot) up comes the system. How do I tell the system to ignore it?

Thanks for any tips

Peter

maybe it boots up but you should check which gpu has output?

Sorry what do you mean by output?

Did you check in bios your PCI express settings ?

What is this strange magic you speak of. Are you wizards??

When booting up in the bio screen what the heck am I looking for... its all blue

Sorry for being light hearted... but I am concerned that I might turn it off and then turn on another that is the wrong one.

How will I know what is the Titan Z or standard Titan?

If I find a Primary Video Controller/Adapter. Do I get to choose which one is the main "output"

Any non magic ideas welcome

My fault. I'll try to be more precise:

I had similar issue when I added a gtx titan to 3x780s. What worked for me was changing settings in bios - the primary display to PCI x16 (from auto) and connected all monitors to a graphics card that is closest to a cpu. Then I had to reinstall nvidia driver.

I also noticed that the primary display had to be connected via DVI cable (I had some issues with display port).

Not at all, your reply was fine. This is such a helpful forum. Everybody shares experiences and info.
I'll try your suggestions I am sure that will work

Many thanks.
