(solved) Saturday, March 24, 2018 9:19 PM (permalink) I hate to revive a REALLy old thread, however, I just recently purchased a GTX 1060 and cannot for the life of me get the z68 SLI to recognize a card is in the PCI-e slot. Any recommendations? I flashed bios to the R22 (newest available). #4

(solved) Saturday, March 24, 2018 9:57 PM (permalink) I should clarify the monitor is not receiving a signal, i thought the card was DOA. however, i returned it and tried another...same issue. I highly doubt i have 2 DOA cards. I feel like the mobo isn't detecting it for whatever reason. #10
