Now the Big Question. will those two work together?

...yes....

NO! If you use those together, the thermonuclear reaction cannot be controlled and once it becomes self sustaining, you will destroy the country! For the sake of mankind, don't do it!

AWSOME!!!! you don't know me well enough distruction is something i love


i've tryed it once in the past though and was getting an error. and i know i've tryed reseating it and all that. any sudgestions??

I suggest you tell us what the error is, what operating system you're running, and the rest of the hardware involved. You don't need the specs though, just list model numbers.

its one long beep then two short ones. and i'm running XP pro

my guess was driver

That BIOS error message indicates a video failure on a motherboard with an Award BIOS...looking in the specs of the mobo above I don't see a model number, and it's showing an AMI BIOS, which doesn't have a 1-2 beep code (there's a 1-3 code though, and that means a memory error) What is the manufacturer and model number of the motherboard?

Have you tried your card in another motherboard?

Have you tried reseating the card? (taking the card out and putting it back in)

i have not and my board is made by MSI its a K7t turbo2 ms-6330

so i need to update by bios

yeah i have

Try reseating your video card (take it out and put it back in)
You can also try flashing the BIOS, but that likely won't fix the problem. The BIOS is telling you that there is a problem with the video subsystem. That means the BIOS is working correctly, and detecting the problem. It's likely that:

- the video card is bad (you can determine this by poutting your video card in another system...if the problem happens in the other system, then the video card needs to be replaced) OR
- the video card is not seated properly (take it out, put it back in and try again)

ATI has a really good warranty program. If the card is defective, then you'll likely be able to get ATI to replace it for you. (If it's under warranty, of course)

Contact ATI for more information.

i've tryed 3 of these cards and all the same error.

It could also mean that your AGP slot is hosed...which would make sense if the cards you tried work in another motherboard...have you tried flashing the BIOS?

no i've tryed to stay with in my knowledge bounds i don't want to screw something up beond hope but i guess its worth a try

hey - look at it this way - the board's likely hosed anyway, so what more damage can you do?

true but my wallet looks like a cave so i kinda have to be carful. can you give me any tips on flashing my bios

also i need your your imput on this i believe my processor is fryed. should i replace it or should i just cought up the money and replace board processor and memory

Why do you think the processor is fried?

well... i was messing with my water cooling and didn't quite get it down on my processor tight enough and befor i knew what happened my fan controler was having a fit looked over and it was at 72 or 73c maybe higer seeing that the probe wasn't in the best spot
