    Who the flip recommended you the asrock Z68 series? There's a known issue with all those asrock series boards. The PCIe controller has bad capacitors in it. Most 99% of people with your issue had to RMA their board.

    Oh my bad, you also have a H61 board. You'll need P67, Z68 Z75 (I think), or Z77 if you want OCing support.

    This is the best bang-for-the-buck one going at the moment:

    Also what does RMA mean ?

    Yes do, it sounds a lot like a faulty GPU, especially since it worked therm all of a sudden didn't on the other machine

    BUT

    It may just be a firmware problem, that the up to date drivers are ****

    i was reading this post here. http://forums.tweaktown.com/video-cards/47969-2-video-cards-not-detected-asrock-z68-extreme4-gen3.html

    reading number 5 it got me thinking that i might not have plugged a needed lead in.

    I've taken some photos ( sorry for bad photos lol ) attached.

    I know the red leads for normally for powering GPU's but my card has none.. does that little head lead go into the board ?

    If you can see the board should I have anything else plugged in that the PCI - E needs to fully work ?

    thanks.

    Something i just noticed.. Not sure why i didnt see it before.

    When have one of the monitors plugged out you get that thing on the screen saying no signal.. check your connection.. When i plug it into the graphics card it goes. There screen is still blank.. but it is detecting it.

    Does this mean anything new ?

    If your GPU doesnt require the extra power then no, those leads go nowhere. Can you post pics of the bios settings?
