Got this card from a friend recently, but it keeps running at PCI-E 1x instead of 16x.
Running an Asus GeForce 8800 GTS 640mb
Foxconn Winfast MCP61M2MA motherboard (Socket AM2)
Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (2.0 GHZ)
Phoenix 6.00PG BIOS (Dated 2006)
4 gigs of RAM (mismatched speeds/timings)
FSB: DRAM ratio = CPU/6

Tried raising the PCI-E clock from 100 to 101/110/115 already with no change.
I heard about raising the NB voltage to fix the issue, but I don't see any option like that in my BIOS unless it's the NPT voltage? (and it's locked at 1.30v)
At this point, I feel like I've tried everything besides uping the NB voltage, which I can't seem to do on this mobo, and updating the BIOS, which is too risky since I can't afford to brick this mobo.
