[QUOTE="Ford>Chevy, post: 15880179, member: 166567"] Shouldn't make a difference. The card should still "work" however the bandwidth of the card would be limited by the lower performance of the slot. OP did you check to see if the card needs a 6 pin or 8 pin PCIe Power connector from the power supply? That could be a problem. Also the slot itself could be bad. I received a brand new motherboard with a bad X16 slot and had to complete a RMA. The only way I found out it was bad though, was to take out the card and put it in another computer. Good luck solving your problem. Could be a bad card right out of the box as well. It happens. An outdated motherboard BIOS may cause this as well as the motherboard may not be able to detect the card. I would recommend updating the BIOS to the latest revision as well. You can likely find that on the Dell website and instructions on how to install it. [/QUOTE]
