Asus M2N-SLi Deluxe with Biostar Geforce 7600 video car-1 long beep,2 short beeps
I get 1 long beep and 2 short beeps-video card error when i plug my brand
new 7600 video card PCI Express x16 into my brand new Asus M2N Sli Deluxe motherboard. I tried both the x16 slot and the x8 slot,same thing.I uninstalled the ram and drives and even disconnected the processor,I even tried starting with no video card installed at all and i get this same error code. Is it to be assumed the card is toast? Also,the card doesnt have an external power connector like a lot of the x16 cards,do some cards not require extra power? |

Is it to be assumed the card is toast? Also,the card doesnt have an external power connector like a lot of the x16 cards,do some cards not require extra power? If both are brand new, it is going to be hard to determine which one is bad. At least, without some other stuff to test with. I'd probably pull the motherboard from the case, and try it while the motherboard is resting on a telephone book (one with a cardboard cover). That will eliminate a short to the bottom of the motherboard. The only dangerous thing about that method, is the video card is not supported, and one yank on the cable would be a disaster. I would have thought that with missing RAM and missing video, you'd hear missing RAM first, until RAM is installed, and then you'd hear missing video. I wouldn't have thought it would flag the video first, but I suppose the BIOS author could do it in any order they please. To get a beep code, you'd need the processor and the case speaker, and there should be a missing RAM beep, if all you had installed was the processor. The 7600 is a reasonably low power card. The PCI Express x16 video slot carries roughly 12V @ 4A to the video card. If the card is going to use more than that, they put the Aux connector on the end of the card. The pins in the video card slot are rated at 5 amps, but the measurements on Xbitlabs shows the designers try to limit the current draw to about 4.3 amps or so, and they try not to go right to the limit. Unfortunately, there have been PCI Express lane failures on chipsets, so you cannot entirely discount the motherboard. It could be either the motherboard or the video card end of the connection. You'd need some swapping (put video card in some other PCI Express motherboard, or use a different video card, like an old PCI video card in the new motherboard). Are you sure the card is fully seated ? Paul |

Asus M2N-SLi Deluxe with Biostar Geforce 7600 video car-1 long beep,2 short beeps
Well I ran out and bought a cheap video card and put it in and i get the
same thing.I think I remember somewhere that the award bios does video first so it can display any problems.I took out the processor and tried starting it and nothing happened,put the cards back in and got the error code again so I am hoping it's only the motherboard. |

I am just returning the mb,cpu and video card to newegg.com for
replacement.They didnt give me any grief and i am not sure if its the mb or cpu.I just dont think the video card could be bad since the one i ran out and got wouldnt work either.This is actually the first time i have ever had a DOA computer part in about 18 years of building them myself. |

I had the same problem with that board and an ATI video card. It turns out that one of the memory sticks was bad. -- ______________________________ Walter B waltblanch[at]tampabay[dot]rr[dot]com ______________________________ |

Asus M2N-SLi Deluxe with Biostar Geforce 7600 video car-1 long beep,2 short beeps
I have this mobo and when I first put it in I got exactly the same problem
but I later found out that it was 2 things 1st I had only connected 1 power lead to the mobo (there are 2 on this board) and the other (which don't count in your case) was that I hadn't connected the power lead on the graphics card. just a bit of info about this board when you get it up and running update the bios cos windows get bsods if you leave it as it is "Rob" wrote in message link.net...
