    Computer Bios Beeps

    Heya!, got another little problem again!, computer starts up with no signal running through the DVi & VGA, i have tried reseating the graphics card multiple times, but still nothing, when i start my PC it has 2 fast beeps and 8 usual beeps, i am using AMIBios and this amount of beeps usually indicates a graphics write/read error, what can i do?, as i said before i am running 1.1Ghz Anthlon, 576Mb Ram, ATI Radeon Sapphire Atlantis 9600XT 265Mb (brand new)
    if it is my grpahics card i do not understand why because it is new and it has no major problems usually so !!

    Thanks Jack!

    have you still got the old card or can you borrow another card to try

    by trying it you will eliminate any problems with the new card

    you can confirm your error codes here but as you say the codes indicate a read/write error

    the two beeps refer to memroy issues have you tried or can you try a different stick of ram as if that is the problem it could be causing memory problems on the graphics card which will/could lead to the 8 beep codes
