| 150949 | 2003-06-08 10:12:00 | I'm suffering a few problems with a brand new Gigabyte VAX1394 and MSI Ti4200 video card causing problems at bootup. I'm getting 1 long and 2 short bios beeps indicating a video card failure sometimes. I've had the video card replaced with a new one so that's not at fault. The problem doesn't happen all the time so it appears to be a setting rather than a hardware problem. Has anybody got any ideas? I've tried everything I can think off already so I'm open to any suggestions! | stevenb (3978) | ||
| 150950 | 2003-06-08 11:08:00 | Read the manual taking note of the correct jumper settings(or is the board jumperless?,seems to be the way of the future....hell,way of the present even.........HA) Could try resetting the bios,usually a jumper(unless its jumperless) Send the board back,insist its faulty and demand a replacement,if a new board still gives errors,well,at the very least you know to look elsewhere for the problem. Have you tried re-seating your hardware? |

| 150951 | 2003-06-08 23:30:00 | what bios brand? also what powersupply and cpu? | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 150952 | 2003-06-09 00:37:00 | It's an Award bios (can't remember version number) and a 300W Hyena power supply with an XP2000+ CPU. The problem still occurs with everything disconnected and removed except for the video card so it's unlikely it's a problem with the power supply being too weak. I've tried reflashing the bios and clearing CMOS to no avail. I'm tending to believe it's a problem with the motherboard as the card will work for several days at a time and then just stop working and then magically start working again! | stevenb (3978) | ||
