The card is fitted into a PCI Express 16x connector.

Actually, the onboard works with the card in the slot. It quits when I plug in the card's supplemental power connector. The Intel MB only has the one PCIe slot. The fan on the video card runs without the supplemental power connector plugged in, so I assume that means the board is plugged into...

Ok, so now I am up and running. I am currently using the VGA connector on the MB for my monitor. I do have installed the following video adapter card: Video card PNY GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB This card is installed in the PCIe slot. The fan on the card is running. The card has a power connector...

Want to let you all know I am up and running now. The main problem turmed out to be the new Sony DVD RW drive. Replaced it with a DVD drive I pulled out of my wife's PC and the Vista Ultimate disc booted immediately. I also did obtain the Crucial memory rated for the intel MB. Vista is now...

The docs are here: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dg35ec/ec_manual.htm The only place I see the voltage setting mentioned is in the Glossary document. But, like I said, I can not find it in my actual bios.

When the Corsair 2.1 volt memory is installed the start up error beeper beeps and nothing happens. The Intel documentation shows settings for Automatic, 1.8, 1.9, but in my BIOS I can find no place to specifically change the voltage.

Well, in the mean time, I took the ULTRA brand memory back and exchanged for Corsair. Unfortunately, didn't realize until I got home that the memory she gave me is 2.1 v and this Intel MB needs 1.8 v memory, so now I need to go back tomorrow and exchange it for 1.8v. I'll pick the saga up...

Tried XP again, this time it stopped on a different file. Oh well. Anybody else got any ideas? I got a $1000 worth of paperweight here.

The HD has not been formatted. I was waiting for Windows to ask about doing that.

XP worked a while loading files setting up to do install, then quit with an error message: "File \i386\l_intl.nls could not be loaded. Setup can not continue. Press anykey to exit."

Put in XP Home SP1 and it immediately boots and starts setup.

Tried Vista again, still get "no bootable device - insert disc, hit any key"

so, I am not changing any of those settings.

Under Chipset configuration is memory configuration setting now are: 5.0 5 5 14 The 14 can be stepped up to 18. There is no mention of voltage.

I found it. Will make changes now.
