hello,
i have a k9a motherboard that has worked very well for me until my videocard fan went out and burned up the other day.
So i went out and got the 5770xfx card put it in and nothing but like 8beeps from my motherboard.
just was wondering why or if mabe somebody has this problem as well and could shed some light on my problem.
i did try looking for an update from msi but it didnt help my problem mabe there not updating the bios so i am forced to by anew motherboard?
but dang its not broke lol. My pc has 4g ddr2 ram 650 watt ps windows vista 32bit amd2 2800 dcp
any help will be more than what xfx told me get a new motherboard lol
 
When your old card is burned up, it might take the motherboard as well...

Have the board manual? So you can find out what that "8beeps" mean...

Last, you can try the card (HD5770) in different PC, just to make sure the card is fine...
