Graphic Card Error

[Murgyyy]

I have an R9 290 and after i shut it down lastnight, i came back this morning to hear it beep once long, then 2 short beeps, then after retrying it did 1 long beep and 3 short beeps,
On my motherboard support i found that the beep means (http://www.gigabyte.com.au/support-downloads/faq-page.aspx?fid=816)
It says this - 1 long beep and 2 short beep：Graphic card error 1 long beep and 3 short beep ：AGP error

Any help on how to fix this would be great, just stuck as i need to use the pc
thankyou

AGP is a long outdated standard. What is your motherboard model (i.e. how old is your motherboard). If it actually has an AGP slot, it may be time to consider an upgrade.

Its not an AGP slot . But the beep code obviously predates modern hardware


The OP should take the graphics card out of the computer and connect the monitor to the mb's graphics ports .
Does it start?

It starts, just doesnt show my monitor you feel, it's just a black screen, beeps 1 long and then 2 short, so what do you want me to do? take my gcard out?

Ahh, makes sense, as I was trying to think of a scenario where you would have a board that is compatible with an R9 290, yet still have an AGP slot. 😛

Your processor and mb have a graphics system . Take the card out completely . Connect the monitor to the graphics card

If it starts and you have a nice pic the chances are your graphics card is faulty


if it doesnt your monitor is faulty
