Why do you need an ASUS motherboard? You can put an 8800GT on any PCI-E board.

Using an Asus P5B Deluxe wifi with an 8800gt, and have used it with an 8800gtx and 7950gx2, and no big problems. Great motherboard.

Why is the board not compatible? I found "ASUS A8V-VM SE" and it's listed as a Socket 939 board with one PCI-E X16 slot so it should work.

Here's the chip set that is on that board

Your board is set up for pcie x16. Make sure you have the newest version for the bios, and the latest drivers for your card.
Who made your 8800gt?

The real problem is my "Xpert Vision 8800 GT 512 Mb " is not being detected in my motherboard A8V VMSE



How do I update my BIOS ???

I tried updating BIOS using ASUS update , but it always shows "Too many users, try later "


Any solutions ??

here's a link to the bios updates from Asus for that board.

Make sure that any other vid card drivers are removed. You may need to get a "driver cleaner" to remove all of the old drivers. Some one from [H] turned me on to one from www.drivercleaner.net with out it there may still be some crap left behind that a normal unistall will leave.

Also I'd look in the bios to make sure that it is looking for a pcie card. Mine (also an Asus) has options for onboard, pci, and pcie. I have mine set to first use the pcie, but if no card is installed it will then use the onboard.
