Right here goes.
Got the Mobo(ECS KNI Sli Lite) in with the CPU (146) and the Cooler (AC FP64). PSU is in also (Enermax Liberty 500w). IN went the RAM(2gb Geil) All well so far.
Started hooking up all the Switch cables from the NZXT Lexa (nightmare as they aint the clearest) and eventually got them in the right place. Then I stuck in me GFX card (XFX 7900gt pre-overclocked)
SO I decide to do a system check on parts installed so far. Hooked up me monitor and voila got the bios screen up, preceded by a nice flashy image of ECS LOGO for the mobo. and then hit F1 for test.
And this was the message:
PXE-E61 Media Test Failure - check cable
PXE-MOF Exiting Nvidia Boot Agent
So I unplugged and took out GFX (carefully) and reinstalled. I also unhooked the PCI connector and plugged that back in too. Rebooted and same error message.
So I am now wondering whether I have installed GFX card wrongly or card is faulty. The XFX manual said to use one of theircables to the PCI slot but none was in box. Besides Enermax said to use their cables which I did. Essentially there is only 1 cable running from GFX to PSU. Should there be another?
My initla n00bish feeling is in fact that all is well and that I only get this message because I have installed HDD and DVD ROM to set up the drivers but am worried about the cable message. I thought the GFX card was working fine because I got the nice flashy ECS logo at beginning. Being a first time build I may have forgotten something.
So your help is gratefully appreciated.
