Via EPIA SN 18000 PCIE Problems

[Jezza_m]

Hi Everyone,

Can't seem to find any official VIA forums, I posted on the itx forums at tkarena and I thought I would try here as well.

I am having issues with using a radeon X550 with my VIA SN18000 itx board. When the X550 is connected I don't get a display or the post screen on the IGP or on the VGA and DVI connections on the x550. I have tested the x550 on another computer and it works fine.

Am I missing something or forgot to change a setting in the bios? I have tried disabling IGP and changing the order in which the bios decides is the primary graphics adapter.

One thing I did notice on my board is that I was missing the option to change the PCIE Port speed, the option to do this is shown in the manual.The bios version that came with the board is dated from Feb 2008.


Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Just tried a different power supply incase it was a power consumption issue, sadly this didn't fix it.
