I've done all the usual stuff like checking BIOS with an older pci card and tried different voltage, frequency on PCI-E, reset BIOS by taking the battery out, reset with jumper for 10 seconds and vice versa. I am not able to get this card working with the mobo. What happens is that when you put the cable from VGA in to the card it sometimes sounds like a graphiccard error but then it suddenly beeps once and begin showing a rolling picture and then just gives black screen and spots.
I have tried both PCI-Ex16 slots with nogo so I suspect that ASUS card does not work with ASUS mobo.
Is that anyone else experience also?
Would be glad to get some tips.

As is having trouble getting an ASUS EAX1050 to work in an M2N-E SLI and after the basic checks suggested by (cable) and (seat/slot), the quickest way to narrow this down is a short, ordered isolation routine and a few firmware/power checks.

  • Do a minimal "bench" boot: CPU, one RAM stick, PSU, GPU and monitor only. This rules out other peripherals and driver/OS issues.
  • Swap the EAX1050 into a known-good PC. If the same visual errors follow, the card is likely faulty. If it works there, suspect the M2N-E slot/BIOS or PSU.
  • Put a confirmed-good PCIe card into the M2N-E. If that card works, the motherboard slot and BIOS are likely fine.
  • Check BIOS options: set primary display to PCI-E/PEG (often labeled "Init Display First" or "Primary Graphics Adapter"), disable integrated video or multi-GPU/SLI modes while testing, and try forcing the PCIe link to the lowest stable setting if available. Update the motherboard BIOS to the latest official ASUS release before major changes.
  • Power and connectors: confirm the PSU has adequate 12V capacity and any required GPU power plugs are firmly attached. Try a different PSU if available.
  • Physical inspection: clean the card gold-fingers with isopropyl, check for loose heatsinks or bulging capacitors, and try a different monitor/cable (DVI/VGA).

Intermittent video, artifacting or black screens most often point to GPU/VRAM or power faults. If the card fails on another machine, seek RMA or replacement. Flashing GPU VBIOS is risky and should be a last resort only with an exact vendor ROM.

are you fitting the card correctly, you have to make sure the card is seated firmly. and the slot is enabled in the bios. are you using a dual cards?????
