I am trying to install my HVR-1600 in my Mythbox, which currently has 3 PCI slots and 1 AGP. Here's my motherboard: <a href="http://img.earena.co.jp/gal2/1/11012.jpg">http://img.earena.co.jp/gal2/1/11012.jpg</a><br><br>
On the very left PCI slot I have a PVR-150, then empty, empty and the black AGP is my 7600GS.<br><br>The problem is, when I put a card (I tried the HVR and also swapped in the PVR-150) in that slot second to the left, my nvidia card won't start X and gives me an error of it being unable to access /dev/nvidia0, the video card. Of course the card works fine, just won't get into X, and it's definitely because of that PCI slot. I put the HVR into the 3rd PCI slot (very right in pic) and X loaded just fine and dandy-- BUT then the HVR and the 7600 are barely a millimeter apart and I fear overheating (?? valid concern?).<br>
<br>How can I get that damn middle PCI slot usable?? Is it some BIOS setting?<br><br>Thanks for any help<br>Bob<br>
