Tried to get the new mobo working again and tried many of the things I've read on this and other forums. No joy but I did take note of the beep codes.
1 long, followed by 2 short. This apparently means video adpter problem, which would kind of make sense. I also read on another forum, that someone went and bought a new video card that is AGPx8. He rekons the board ONLY works with AGPx8; I thought AGP would be fully backwards compatible. Can this be true?
I'm using a Radeon 9000pro. I find it hard to believe this card won't work with this board. I was thinking of getting a 9800pro sometime, maybe when the price drops a bit, but these will only work with WinXP as far as I remember, which means I need a new £200 graphics card and a £100 OS just to get this £50 mobo to work!
Can this be true????
Thats the great thing about PCs, the're so interoperable.
