Some cards are not 100% when it comes to the AGP slot of aligning the soket contacts to the card contacts. Try pushing card into slot with slight pressure towards one end of the slot. If that fails, try with slight pressure towards the other end. | Pheonix (280) | ||

| 174920 | 2003-09-14 04:53:00 | When i boot the monitor does not turn on, i have played around with the alignment, when the comp had the new card in it, it changed the start up screen so i think it has changed the BIOS or CMOS????? im guessing the only way to fix it is to put a GF 4 in it | had_to_change_it (2975) | ||
| 174921 | 2003-09-14 04:55:00 | I have tryed differnt cards but it still sounds the same error message. | had_to_change_it (2975) | ||
| 174922 | 2003-09-14 05:08:00 | Ensure the card is seated firmly in the socket, check that none of the pins in the socket are bent or out of place that may be causing a short. Beeping sounds on boot will definitely not be windows related and are usually indicative of a hardware failure of fault. Check that other cards are seated properly, notably RAM etc in case anything was knocked loose when the card installation was going on. Count the number of beeps and post the motherboard make and model as this can also diagnose the fault. As for the title of your post, removing your finger from the shift key, or pressing the Caps-Lock key should stop you typing in capitals. |

| 174923 | 2003-09-21 03:10:00 | I arrived home one day and my partner had my computer in an infinite loop where it would turn on for 5 seconds thenbeep , then reset, then turn on, then beep, then rest etc . I thought the graphics card was dead so I tried a few different AGP cards, still a problem, so I thought it might be the AGP slot, so I tried a PCI card, same problem . Thought it had to be the monitor then, so tried a different monitor, and voila it worked? then went back to the original monitor just to check before sending it back to manufacturer for warrenty claim and it worked . So in conclusion, the only reason I could come up with, is maybe there was a build up of static electricity in the original monitor and needed 'discharging' for a few hours . anyone else got any ideas? |
