Hello: I have a A8N-SLI motherboard and an Athlon 64x2 4800+ Dual Core CPU. I have 2 GB of ram.
Yesterday when I booted up, I had no video. During boot up, I heard one long beep and three short beeps, which I believe means no video card.
I tested the monitor on another PC and it worked.
So, today I replaced the old video card
-- an EVGA GeForce 7900 GT 256 MB GDDR3 PCIe
with a new card
-- an MSI GeForce 8400 GS 512MB DDR-3 PCIe 2.0.
I still hear the four beeps on boot up and have no video. I know that the PC is booting up, i.e. I hear the Windows music and even, the first time, a pop probably meaning it found the new card.
I'm stumped. What should I try next?
Thanks in advance for any advice
