|  I don't see a 8 pin connector anywhere on the mobo and the 4 pin is 4 pins in a square shape and that is plugged in.   |

| im not entirely sure, but I believe the PCI-E power is provided by the extra 4 pins, and when using two cards, the power for the other slow is provided by the molex, so it is very possible your video card isnt getting any power at all.. Are you sure you dont have any extra junky working PCI video cards lying arround some where?

| We take both criticism and positive comments very positively  | no, the actual definition of that extra 4-pin molx is that it provides "more stable power" while powering two cards in SLI. If its an old generic PSU, then it could have a bad rail.....did it work fine before?
