I'm trying a fresh install of windows 2k pro. and now I'm getting a long and two short beep codes from the board when it try start windows. The bios will start up and everything post's but after that I get the beep code. I check in the manual and I says that particualr code is a problem with the system not being able to recognize and make a display with my video card. (hercules prophet 2) Well I'm getting a display, the the vid. card posts and I get the little vid card bios... whats going on? Did my card somehow get farked?

I don't have another system with agp, so I don't have another agp card either, so swapping the cards to test is out of the question. Right now I'm trying another install, if this dosen't work I will clear the cmos, try reseating the card and see what happens. Other than that I'm out of ideas... anyone have any? I suppose I could go out and buy a new card (I have been looking around for a cheap gf3.... but I don't really want to do that) Thanks for reading!!!! (sorry it got a little longer than planned..)

bump... anyone???

I tried the CMOS clear and reseating the video card and still got that one long beep and two short beeps. Right now I'm fdisking both HD's and will format both and then try a win2k install again and see what happens. Can anyone think of a reason why I would be getting this error? The video card worked before I went to reinstall windows. Thanks!
