So i installed SL with my 8400GS but now i have 2 gtx 260 from my other pc
but when i boot in to SL it starts loading and then i get a screen turn down your power
this is with one gtx 260 never tried 2 yet

System Specs:
Asus Maximus Formula 3
6 Gb Ram
Video Card: Gtx 260 Not working
Sound card supremefx x-fi working
3 hard drives al working
 
Will do thx anyway
 
Yeah thats for 2 cards i saw that one earlier.
than i need one working first :p
but i can't get even a single gtx 260 working
 
Well I was running into the same problem with dual 260's as well. It took me a week+ to come up with the solution and its more or less outlined in that thread with links. You'll want to do a DSDT edit with Peg strings.

Edit: Oh you can't even get one working??? What kind of 260 is it?
 
Zotac Gtx 260 192 Core
 
Both of my 260's are 216. Ironically enough I just picked up a 192 that I haven't tested yet. I've asked around if they'll work, but no one seems to own one. Give me a few hours and I'll see if I can boot up with my (Evga) 260 192 core.
I hope 192's aren't problematic lol.

Are you on the newest bios and using the Asus Maximus dsdt from this page?

Edit: Upload the com.apple.Boot.plist in your extra folder and link it here.

Looks fine. When you've started it up with the GTX 260, was that the only card in your case?

I'm going to go make a cup of coffee, then try the core 192 I just picked up.
 
Yeah it was the only graphic card but if you mean pci my sound card was in there
i don't think that doesn't matter because i tryed without and failed too
