PCIe card causes system not to POST

I cant install because I cant get the system  to POST.  I am trying to use a PCIe x8 raid card in a x16 slot (you can put an x8 card in a x16 slot).  However when the card is in the motherboard will not POST.  Anyone have an suggestions before I chalk it up as a motherboard/card issue and spend some $$?

Re: PCIe card causes system not to POST

About the only thing you can do to fix a failing POST is upgrade the BIOS.  It's unlikely that that would fix an issue with a PCIe card though, to my mind.  If you have a card you know works, you can try it in the same slot to see if it's a motherboard or card issue without spending $$.
