Ok, I'm in big trouble now. First off, I was building this system and when starting up for the first time, I got the One long beep, three short beeps which signaled that the VGA was not detected. So, first conclusion came to be that my brand new 9800GX2 is broke. I tried reseating it, checked all the power cables (I'm using a Corsair 750TX so I think I should have enough power, right?). I also tried using my 9600GT in the same board and it worked fine.
Now my next problem is that I was messing around with the Bios Flash utility before even trying to load windows, and I must have flashed the bios to an earlier version, because now all it does on start up is tell me "Chassis intruded!.... Fatal Error. System Halted!"
So, is there some bios version I have to update to in order to use the 9800GX2? And if there is a newer bios version, how do I flash my bios now that it won't even load into the bios menu without giving me that error. Is my power supply not enough?
The other specs are 2 DVD burners, Q6600, 4GB reapers, and about 6 system fans on the Thermaltake Armor case.
I need some drastic help here!
UPDATE: I no longer get the "Chassis intrusion" error. I am going to install windows using my 9600GT and see if there is any bios revisions. Has anyone heard of a 9800GX2 card needing such a thing? If that isn't the problem, then it's a dead card and that means I'm going to be waiting for a while to have this built.
