I'm building a new system, but can't get it to boot (no post beep whatsoever) if I have my graphics card installed.
System spec - stripped down to the following for testing:
- Gigabyte 890XA-UD3 rev. 1.0, flashed with the latest BIOS (F6A)
- Phenom II X6 1075T
- Corsair tx750W PSU
- 1 x 2 GB DIMM Corsair XMS3 DDR3
- Sapphire HD4850 512M GDDR3 PCI-E (http://www1.sapphiretech.com/uk/products/products_overview.php?gpid=291)
If I boot without the graphics card, the system will post with an Award BIOS beep error of 1-long, 2-short "Video Adaptor Error", which makes sense. However, if I boot with the card mounted, there is no post beep at all, and no video output. I've tried it in both the PCIx16 slot and the x8.
My first instinct is to think the card is faulty, but I thought I'd ask around to see if there may be some kind of conflict between these components. I should mention also that the mobo in question doesn't have on-board graphics, and all components other than the card are brand new.
Basically, I've already spent enough on this new rig, and only want to dish out a bit more for a new video card if it's necessary. The 4850 was perfectly fine for my purposes for the time being...
Thanks in advance,
Colin
