Hello,
I've just had my desktop shipped from one country to another. After setting things up, I turned it on and my monitor was failing to bring up any picture and the machine would do 1 long beep and 2 short fast beeps.
I looked it up and since my motherboard has an AWARD based BIOS, I discovered that it was either a video card problem or a memory problem. I know the problem was not with the memory, so I assumed my video card had blown out (the capacitors on it were bursting out a little bit).
I bought a new card and installed it but the same error keeps occurring! I'm assuming it is a motherboard problem but I have no idea where to start! Can anyone help?
Motherboard: DFI Infinity NF Ultra II-M2
Old Video Card: EVGA 7600GT 256MB DDR3
New Video Card: EVGA GT 240 512MB GDDR5
Monitor: Dell 15" Flatscreen (VGA)
