Alan2273 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 He has just replaced his motherboard after all the trouble with the Abit board and when he switched it on he got one long beep and two short beeps.In the BIOS beep codes this says there is a video card problem, ( he is having to use my Linux box again :lol: ), as there were no BIOS beep codes listed in the Asus manual.If the graphics card is dead, he is certainly having some bad luck, as he only built it twelve months ago and untill a week ago it was running like a dream.And my little Shuttle just keeps going. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4may Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 What Rotten Luck. . . Maybe he should have got a motherboard kit from Novatech with an 'On board vidio' to get going. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Ah, what if. When things go wrong how many times we have all asked that question. I've got my - very valuable - spare S3 (4MB) card available. Any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any good?Unfortunately Doug even my Ti 500 which is 4 years old will not help him as his is a PCI-E board not AGP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 My spare card fitted into a PCI slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Trackrat says thanks for the offer Doug, but he is taking the computer in to where he brought the motherboard so he can get them to try another PCI-E card, to see if the graphics card is at fault or the motherboard.So one way or the other it will get sorted monday.

Alan2273 Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 A few weeks ago I transfered my Shuttle motherboard into a new Shuttle case only to find there were no stand off`s for the ICE cooling system, as they use a different system now.So till I could get a drill and tap the size I wanted I had to use his computer for two days. Now he is using mine and yes he is getting withdrawal symptons :D , but he will have to wait. :devil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
