So I'll post the actual hardware involved that I purchased first
motherboard: http://ca.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4147#sp
processor: http://ark.intel.com/products/53483/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G630-3M-Cache-2_70-GHz
graphics card(purchased used, worked before): http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/amd-radeon-hd-6000/hd-6950/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-6950-overview.aspx
Umm that's not the exact graphic on the card that I have, but is same model and everything(the previous owner got this video card soon as it came out, I believe).
So my issue is this: THAT motherboard does not like THAT graphics card; on boot, it goes to POST and gives the "video card has bad RAM/memory" number of beeps(I forget exact number). But this card that I own works properly in other motherboards, no issues, full speed, full 2 gigabytes of VRAM.
Is it incompatibility or some kind of false positive? Sadly the "other computer" tested on is not mine, it is a friend's, and therefore I cannot keep it. I would prefer not to spend money on a new card if possible. Currently in the "broke" state, but wanting to see if this card will work. I posted the processor as the motherboard had a disclaimer on the supported PCI speed based on which Intel Bridge was being used. I have no idea, really, so it's there
As well, 64 Bit Windows 7, does not get to boot menu, I made sure the card is in the right slot too..any additional information required, let me know please. Want this card to work.
