1900XT Help

[imported_bitwyze]

I'm in the process of building a new pc, and failing at system post. I get continuous beeps. I'm wondering if it may be due to the vid card. It looks as if auxiliary power should be connected to it (the female plug on the back end of the card) but no power cables came with it. Does anyone know if this is the case?

I've googled the bios beep sequence to death, and can't find anything. Just a consistent beep....beep....beep...beep.....nonstop

I've reseated memory, cpu, pulled everything out, and back in, tried different memory locations, and mem combos.

system specs
M2N-SLI Deluxe
AMD Athlon 4600+ AM2
Asus EAX1900XT
G.Skill 2x1GB DDR2 800
Antec 430W PS

it would seem ur antec power supply doesn't have a pci-e power cable.U should go out and get a molex to pci-e adapter.Plug 1 end into a molex cable from ur PSU and the other 2 ur card.
Thats the reason(most prolly anyway)why ur comp won't post.
And i don't know if ur PSU can handle all that load.
U should invest in a better PSU.
Cause a power x1900 xt can eat up a lot of power under load.
To be on the safe side u should really get a better/new PSU.Which is greater than 500W.

Did you attach that 6-pin PCIe connector to the video card
I bet you didn't
Now I'll give you the time to attach it (or use the adapter)
