No display on a newly built pc 4

[kundunni]

Hi Gurus,
I have built a new PC with the motherboard GA-MA770-DS3. I am using Inno 3D 9400GT graphics card. The problem is I am not getting the display. It gives one long beep and 2 short beep. As per the manual, it is a problem with graphics card or the monitor. Monitor is fine.

Do I need to replace the Graphics card? or there is work around?

Make sure the card is firmly seated into the PCI-E slot. If it requires additional power, make sure the power connector from the PSU is also firmly connected to it.

Is there anyway to text the card in another computer just to rule out any possible card problems?

Are you using the VGA or DVI connector on the card? From the pictures I can see of the card itself it doesn't have any power sockets so I would put it down to either the vga or dvi socket being used.

Let us establish this first...

is this a homebuild or bought fully assembled, and if fully assembled do you still have warranty?

if the warranty is still in effect (fully assembled) then take it to the place purchased and have them fix it...

if it is a home build, then try another gfx card as it sounds like the card is either under powered or damaged (ESD discharge e.g.), and by using another gfx card could rule out many other problem areas...

Sounds like the graphics card is just bad - or not properly seated. Try reseating the card as already suggested, and then if that doesn't work, assuming it is new as well as the board, send it back for replacement.

If it's not new, and you still have access to the computer it was in before, try putting it in that computer to make sure it's the card and not your new motherboard.

Thanks for your advise. This is a home built PC..I have tried both DVI and VGA. Didn't help
Tried resetting the CMOS.. - No difference.
Now I have sent this card for replacement. I am getting temporary card from one of my friend by this Friday.That is 8600GT. Hope that is going to work.

keep us updated...

Put the 8600GT card in. It worked.....
Thanks a lot for your help.

Glad you got it up and running, and for posting back what fixed it...

In time for Christmas....great

On wings like angels whispers sweet
my heart it feels a broken beat
Touched soul and hurt lay wounded deep
Brown eyes are lost afar and sleep
