A7V133 and Palit FX5600 ?
Just bought a Palit Daytona GForce FX 5600, but when I plug it in and start
the computer, I get a long beeb an 3 small beeb's. Any suggestions ? At the moment I'm using a Palit Daytona GForce4 TI 4200 and it works just fine, so why does the FX card not work ?? -- \!/ (@@) --------o00o-(_)-o00o-------------- mvh Gorm |

It could be a voltage issue. The newer cards are 1.5 volt and the older
cards tend to be 3.3. The older board may not handle the 1.5 although it's not likely. I had an A7V133 and used a GeForce 5200FX in there for a short time and it worked just fine. Have you tried the card on another mobo? The beeping, of course, indicates NO video/Bad Video memory. Check the seating and inspect the card for an loose resistors or scorch marks. |

I have testet the FX in my sons computer, end it works just fine. Could it
be that the FX card have 256Mb RAM ? My GF4 have only 128Mb RAM In fact it does not beeb when I plug it in, but if I have been in BIOS settings and exit, the computer resets and then I get the beeb's. Strange ....
