getting ocillating sound if use pci video card

Hi,

I have a system: XP, 256 MB ram, P2 450, nic card, AGP 16MB video, and ISA
creative Labs sound blaster that runs perfectly.

When I swap out the AGP card for a PCI card the speaker gives a steady
beeping sound. I tried 3 different 2 MB video cards. XP found each one and
installed it fine, but each time beeping started from the speakers. It's a
steady beeping sound like somebody was running past a picket fence with a
stick in their hand and let the stick whack each picket as it went by. Or
like the sound a playing card makes when cloths to the fork of a bike and
the spinning spokes hit it.

Any idea what's causing this, and how to fix it?

Thanks

Alex

Sounds like a bios warning alarm. suggest you look through your bios
for some odd agp switch to turn off.

reset configuration data each time you change the location of the
video card...there is a setting in the bios for primary
video...although on some boards it makes little difference some balk
when set incorrectly
