When you install a 8x AGP video card do you have to change some settings in BIOS so the card can work fine?
I installed the video card and the pc booted up fine. I shut down the pc and unplug the power cord and then I hook it back up and power up and the monitor doesn't turn on and it gives 1 beep then 2 beeps. This is what the manual says:
1. clear CMOS battery. (JP5 connector, see Quick start guide/ user manual for more info on how to clear the CMOS)
2. check the memory module and the VGA card if it is inserted properly on the M/B
3. if step #2 is done, change the memory module, it might be defective. Make sure the memory specification is supported by the M/B. (for more info on this, check our FAQ website)
4. change the VGA card
I switched it with a Radeon 7000 PCI card and it worked (I unpluged the power/hooked it back and it worked.
