EPIC FAIL!

SO I realized that I cannot utilize the bottom PCI-E slot with my case. The third slot on the x58 LE is x4

Plugged in the new power cord and everything seemed to be running great except my FPS were low, being the slots were reverting to x4

So I shut down, unplugged, moved the cards (now in the #1 & #2 slots)

Restarted, expected the drivers to pick them up, only one was moved, but NO!

Instead I get VGA mode, excessive lagging, turtle like movement in safe mode, and now that I think everything is back up the way it should be, everything shows up good in gpu-z, device manager, etc... no CPU/Ram OC. I start 3d 06 and get flashing pink colors, and extremely sub par performance.

How does all that happen when only switching slots on the GPU??
