Is it plugged into the top PCIE slot, sounds to me like you have it in the 4x slot which is on the bottom.

Also set your power management scheme to always on, and check with CPUZ 1.39 for the PCIE Link Width..... Also Try reinstalling the card.

i try that about always on,, and i already reinstalled, cleaned all pc reconnected all cables etc.

very strange, cpuz says...4x of x16 supported

CPu, 1.336v
pcie- 1.5
SB- 1.05

Plug the card into the pcie 8x and see what it does. If it goes 8x link or stays 4x, sounds like either your PCIE 16 is damaged or the card itself is damaged.

ill try that. and hope not be damaged !

but some people have this problem with x1 at p5w´s mobos and they
solved by setting voltage NB to 1.45 wich my dont have... only 1.50 155 165....

That problem was more Bios related than it was NB voltage.... And I dont believe I ever saw a P5W have that problem it was P5B's...But lemme know if it works on the 8x
