Hi guys,
I have been experiencing a very weird issue over the past months.
One of my Desktop computer sometimes fails to startup. It gives a very low sounding quick sequence of beeps and thats it. Lights go on but there is no display on the Monitor.
Now, what I have tried :- I tried taking out all cards and putting them back on MOBO one by one. When I take out the Graphics card (6800GT) and put it back on the motherboard, and then restart, the computer DOES start.
But after sometime/few uses, when I start it up after few days, it will not start again. Is the Graphics card causing some short circuit ?? Or has the motherboard gone bad... Please help before I take my PC to some hardware guy.. Maybe I can fix it myself using all you wonderful people's help.
I also want to add : My motherboard has a AGP slot and this grafix card is AGP. Could it also be possible that AGP slot is dying ? And if yes, can that be replaced without replacing the mobo.
