i just bought a pci radeon 7000 to use a 3rd moniter i had lying around, but when i plug it in, i get the normal singal beep the a few seconds later i get a high/low looping beep code which apparently has something to do with the cpu, but when i unplug it, everything works fine. i tried unpluging my agp card and just leaving the pci card and it still does it. (nothing ever comes up on any screen at any point with the pci card installed. Does anybody have any idea what is going on?
 
high/low beeps tend to be CPU overheat, HSF running slow, etc, etc.
So maybe the new card is pulling the 12v rail down enough to underspin the HSF.

Or something like that.

Luck....... :D
 
i tried pulling the my agp 9800pro and leaving the 7000 but it still did it and there is no way that little card is pulling more power than the 9800
 
But it will be pulling its power through the mobo/ pci slot as I don't think it has a molex connector .

Have you tried to boot at minimum spec.
Just the vid card and memory, no drives, sound card, etc.

Luck......... :D
 
SCORE......

I was messing around in the bios to see if i could find any relavent settings, and found that it was set to use pci graphics cards as the primary display driver, swithed it to agp, and boom works perfect. i guess my comp just didnt like that configuration. :rolleyes:
 
starting to get a little pissed, after changing that setting in the bios, i was able too boot into windows. i got 4 moniters going perfectly (pluged in my tv to). i rebooted and now when i tried to boot into windows, it freezes on the windows xp loading screen. the only way i can get it to work is to either remove the new gfx card, or boot into safe mode do a system restore from before i had the gfx card, and reboot, thats the only way i can get windows running with both cards. so once again, anybody have any ideas?
