Check if Windows in installed in UEFI mode, not Legacy for 6 GPU's to work.

Hey Vann,

Thanks for the advice. I'll stop by the office where my rigs are tomorrow and give this a try and get back to you!

Just to clarify, I DO want it in UEFI mode...I DO NOT want it in legacy mode. Correct?

Thanks again,

Yes, create a GPT partition scheme for the drive and and install Windows in UEFI mode. To create a bootable UEFI Windows install flash drive you can use Rufus. Make sure to select 'GPT partition scheme for UEFI' from the drop down menu in Rufus when creating the flash drive and boot to the UEFI installer from the motherboard boot menu.
