The decklink card should be put in an x1-x4 PCIe slot.
Have you tried to change the bios settings for that slot? -

Thank you for your response.P5W64 have 4 pci-e slots. nr1 blue and nr 2 are reserved by graphics card (I have quadro fx 4500)
When I put Multibridge PRO card in slot 3, mainboard not started( on power on Balck Screen and Silence)
When i put Multibridge PRO card in slot 4 everything is ok system loading but Multibridge PRO card hasn’t been found.(I’am trying to find new hardware but still nothing happens)
When I try to connect Multibridge PRO via USB, system found 1 new hardware and install it but there is still nothing heppens. I can’t run Multibridge PRO
In mainboard manual I see the slots runs at (1)x8 (2)x8 (3)x4 (4)x8 mode or at (1)x16 (2)x0 (3)x4 (4)x0 mode.In bios setting i found only 5 things about pci-e:
PEG buffer Lenght(use AUTO) otions:(auto,long,short)
Link Latlency (use Auto) options:(auto,slow,normal)
PEG Root Control (use Auto) options:(auto,disable,enable)
PEG Link Mode (use Auto) options:(auto,slow,normal,fast,faster)
Slot Power (use Auto) options:(auto,light,normal,fast,faster)
that’s all.Please help if you have any suggestions.

This card is a card game, it does not seem the most appropriate for Multibrige.
The only slot for multibrige that you can use is the number 3, in single card mode (slot 1: vga (x16 mode), slot 3: multibrige (x4 mode)).
If this no works, then other bios settings are: “boot graphic adapter priority” and “High priority port select”. Try with this settings.

I am very interest in ASUS P5W64 WS Professional and have a questions about it
1- did you test all PCI-e slot with Multibridge PRO especially slot 1 x4 after bios update
2- there is many reports about problem between X38 and PCI-e raid card, did the bios update solve this problem, and what is the raid configuration that you use with Videothanks

Then I upgrade my bios from version number 0701 to 0903 and connect new Multibridge PRO v2 to slot nr 3(because in that configurations it has PCI-e x4(go to asus website an read motherboard manual)) and everything working.I think the problem was in old Multibridge Pro slot connecting card because in that version of MB the card looking different, but remember it’s only my opinion.
I don’t know nothing about chipset X38 this motherboard has Northbridge Intel 975X Southbridge Intel ICH7R and PCI-E IDT89HA0324 and 8 x serial ATA I/II(4 on ICH7R and 3+1 on Marvell 88SE6145) and RAID bulid on MARVELL working.:)
