hello everyone,
i think my AGP slot on my motherboard is broken. i've been using my asus v7700 deluxe agp video card on my SOYO Dragon+ for a months now with no problems. for xmas i got a new SB Audigy sound card. installed it, everything worked fine. then, this morning i went to turn on my computer and i got a series of random beeps from the motherboard, and nothing happened on the monitor, but it sounded like the computer booted, i could hear the hard drives spin up, and heard the floppy drive make noise. so, i took out my asus video card, and replaced it with a geforce2 MX card (AGP) that i had lying around. turned on the computer, and this time got 2 beeps from the board, but still no video. so finally i tried an old voodoo3 (PCI) that i had. turned it on, and the computer worked normally. could the AGP slot go bad?? i mean the board isn't that old, only a month or so. i've tried resetting the CMOS and flashing the BIOS, no luck. i've even rebuilt the entire PC, and made sure everything was seated properly. if i use any more force to put the video card in i'm sure i'll break something. any other ideas? thanks in advance. ~Andrew
