motherboard is not capable of supporting this feature.
Retest All
Click this button to retest all graphic bus capabilities. All
tests and diagnostics are initiated immediately following
a system restart.
Any settings that have previously been set to
Off
will be
turned on, providing the test passes.
Problems can arise if the user enables a
secondary graphics accelerator (in a multiple
monitor environment) after the operating
system has loaded. The problem exists
because the secondary graphics card is
enabled after the SMARTGART diagnostic test
have been run. To ensure system stability you
should restart the computer
after
the
secondary graphics accelerator is enabled so
that both graphics accelerators can be tested
with SMARTGART.
