  • G200 - POST Problems

    Hello:

    I've just bought a G200 AGP card and so far have had no luck with it. Whenever the card is installed in the AGP slot my system emits 1 long, 2 short beeps and the monitor stays blank with an amber light. Sometimes there aren't any beeps at all when I power up the machine, but the monitor still stays blank.

    If I put back in my old card (Diamond S220 PCI) the machine boots fine.

    I've tried reseating the G200, removing all other cards changing BIOS settings. At this point I'm at a loss. I would greatly appreciate any advice as I was looking forward to using this card.

    My System:

    AMD K6-2 400Mhz
    Freetech MB with ALI chip set
    32Megs RAM
    Award BIOS (Flashed to the latest version).

    TIA,

    Tony.

    Sounds to me like you have a dead card...
    did you try this card out in another person's PC? (or can you?)
    Getting the long beep and getting no video signal are pretty bad signs...

      Well...after much frustration and hair pulling I solved my own problem.

      It seems the card arrived DOA with a bad BIOS. I happened to stumble across the MatroX Files web site and using the Dead BIOS Recovery techniques there, I was able to restore my G200's BIOS and now all is well with my G200.
