I think my video card is dead!

[fernandosaez]

I am going to cry! Well not really, but maybe it would helo

I just bought an MSI n9600g50 768mb ddr3 and I am having the following problem.

I install it and it makes a loud constant beep, nothing even apears on my screen. Its dead right? Oh yea its the card that makes the noise, not the mother board...I am shure.

problems is that I bought it in Canada and I live in Chile.

Any idea of what I may do?

Thanks

Are you sure the power is plugged into the graphics card? My old nVidia beeped painfully at me once when I had forgotten to plug the power into it.

That beep is your motherboard attempting to tell you what problem it is. You can look it up by the amount of beeps.

2 short 1 long
2 long 1 short

and so forth, it really depends on the kind of beeps. Check your wires and that the card is seated properly.

sounds like you forgot to plug the power cord in to me, happened to me once when i was rewiring my pc got a long constant beep.

Sounds like the power connector isn't in, as everyone else is suggesting.
I forgot to plug in my HD4850 and it screamed horribly loud.
