Hello everybody,
This is my wifes PC:
Fic VB-601 slot 1 mobo with intel 440bx chipset.
pentium 2 @ 266MHz.
128 Mb pc100 sdram.
Older compaq Qvision PCI video card.
Heres the problem:
All the sudden when you power it up, the screen doesnt ccome on. It gives the beep code "one long, then two short beeps."
According to award bios, that means theres a video access problem, so I figured the video card had gone bad.
I changed over to an old ISA card I have, which allowed it to boot, but it only runs in 16 colors(this is a problem i had with this old card which is completely unrelated) which again pointed me in the direction of a new video card.
I borrowed a working agp card from a freind as a loner until I could get a new one, but it did the same thing, one long beep, followed by two short beeps.
Could this be a monitor problem? Or possibly a mobo problem?
I even tried the compaq card in different Pci slots, and I get the same thing.
Any ideas??
Thanks.
