Well my dad's rig is having some problems and I can't figure out what it is. When I turn it on I get 2 things first of all I get 2 beeping noises from the internal error speaker. Then I get an error message from my moniter saying "check you cable to video card." It could be a video card problem and I assume it is. The onboard video is dead so I threw in a Ati Rage 128 Pro I found in a desk drawer. Only has AGP so I can't test my card in my rig to see if it would work. I tried to boot it one stick of RAM at a time to see if it was a RAM problem with one stick but it is either something wrong with both sticks. I dunno. CPU cooler is working so I don't think it is a heat problem. I really have no clue what it could be.

Specs:
Sempron 2800+
Budget MSI Socket 754 Mobo
1 stick 256mb PC 2700
1 stick 256mb PC 3200
Rage 128 Pro
Thermaltake 430 Watt 20 Pin PSU
Aopen DVD Burner
40gb WD IDE HDD

can you turn onboard video off in the bios?

No can't acess the bios. Nothing except 2 moniter errors come up like check the video cable and the one about this display is not hooked up or something. The other errors I get are just 2 beeps on bootup. The onboard video has been busted for a while maybe like 3 months.
