I have an issue I can not figure out. Just bought a brand new PC w/ the Nvidia Geforce 2 MX AGP video card, when the PC first boots up and is going through it's Post sequence it returns a series of 3 beeps, then the screen stays black, the PC finishes booting, but no picture. I have put in a Voodoo 3 PCI, works fine, I put the Geforce into an older HP, works great, then I put it in another PC using the same Award Elite 4.51PG bios, same thing. Any ideas why it will not work w/ the Award Bios.

Actually figured it out, the Video card is incompatible. Went out bought a different AGP card works fine. The funny thing is though, the card worked on an older HP Pavillion 8250 series running 95, but would not run on a 98 or ME machine.

It is Gainward 5VPA board, not to sure what the other board was that the card did not work on, but it was the same bios so I am figuring that the BIOS is incompatible w/ the card.
