I have a machine running off of an MSI MS-7207 Ver. 2 motherboard, with 4GB of RAM and a 300W power supply. It boots and runs perfectly fine on its own. I have a GeForce GT 610 1GB video card, but when I plug it into the motherboard and try to boot, the fans whir like crazy, and then calm down, and then I get 2 beeps. I know the beeps signify a parity error in memory, but I ONLY get them when booting with the video card; take the card back out, everything boots fine. Also good to note: the machine runs Xubuntu, and I have already installed the necessary drivers for the card. When attempting to boot with the video card, I still have the display hooked up through the onboard video card. When going through BIOS, I verified that the PCIe slot is the default video space.
I am running out of ideas at this point, and I have been battling with this computer to get it to work for almost a year. I just want to be able to use this video card.
