Can you fry just your AGP slot? (also a 'beep' question)

Post by Freyland »

Hi All.


I have a Gainward Geoforce FX Ultra 5900XT, which is supposed to support TV-Out. I tried this for the first time, and I received a flickering picture on my TV. This happened two more times. I decided to try a different cord, and I received two quick beeps and then 6 spaced evenly short beeps, with no display. I then had this happen with the first cord. I then had this happen downstairs, hooked back up in my PC lair. Thinking I had fried the card, I changed it out for an old ATI 9000 Pro, but I got the same beeps! I have since tried replacing the MB memory to ensure I didn't injure those chips, and I get the same error. I have also 'dusted' all the slots and replaced the hardware, just in case.

My MB is an Intel Board, and I do not remember the Bios.

Any help would be appreciated... I am a computer game addict and I can already feel the walls closing in on me. It is only by using my wife to prop them apart that I still survive!
