alright i ended up calling BFG tech and he said something about the power cables that plug into it might be the problem...if anyone has a BFG card, could you tell me how your power cables are plugged in...before it was 2 seperate ones with 2 ends, 1 into a HDD and another into the BFg, now i changed it so that its one cable with 2 ends that go into the bfg. still the same. so then he said it could be a bad card so ill have to send them an email to see how i can send it to them since i live outside the US
ok tomorrow i think im going to format, just to see if it works that way...i was going to format sometime soon anyway. if someone that has this card can tell me how they setup their power cables, ill try that. but i want my last choice to be sending them the card
