Could use some troubleshooting.  With the ATX connection from the board (5 straight-line pins) going to the PSU (10 pin) plugged in the board goes on and off right away.  If I leave it unplugged it runs. Huh
Also - can't get cgminer to see it, or my computer for that matter.  Any drivers necessary?  Using Win7 Home Premium.
Not sure if the two issues are related.

A. Plug nothing from the PSU to the GR board other than

1. the 4 Pci-e connectors
2. whatever the cooler pump needs to run (the H110i was a sata connector)
3. You can power additional fans from the board or PSU.

B. Have you installed the drivers using zadig first? Cancel any OS detected HW driver install (takes a moment to actually cancel the process) when you plug the GR in.

Thanks Ranger!  So I have ZADIG installed and my pc says it sees a "Mass Storage Device" by Alcor Micro Corp.  Since it's the only usb plugged in beside the mouse I assume that's the GR.
But I still can't get cgminer to see it.  I have tried starting cold and using the .bat file above.  In both cases I get:



Any other suggestions?

Try starting cgminer first, then plug the USB into the card after cgminer has started.
