Ok, so today I got my brand fuckin' new 5850 in the mail today and was super excited. So I pulled out my old and tired 8800GT and try to put in the 5850. Well, the back hits my SATA ports so I unplug my dvdr and switch a couple sata cables and slide the card in. Ok so now the problems start:
The boot drive isn't connected. Ok, so I switched the wrong cables, I change them back to the correct SATA ports and boot again. This time it says Windows cannot start properly and tries to repair. I can't repair. Ok... so I put my 8800GT back in and now I still can't start windows. Tried system restore and memory check. Restore failed and check passed.
update! ok, I changed some boot priority settings and it seems to have done the trick! the 5850 is in and working!
