Asus P5K: "No VGA detected" - fix?

[thaCURSEDpie]

Hey all, Im having some issues with my computer.

First of all, the specs:
MoBo: Asus P5K
Videocard: Nvidia 8800GTS 320MB
CPU: Intel E6600 @ stock
CPU-cooler: Scythe Mugen Infinity
PSU: Antec 500W (dont remember which one)

My issue:
Suddenly my computer won't boot into windows. When I press the power button the motherboard beeps: Long Short Short Short, according to the manual: "No VGA found".

Very strange, since the computer was working fine 3 hours ago...

I can try all I want, it keeps giving me this error.

What I have tried:
1. Taking out the videocard and putting it back in.
- didn't work
2. Clearing the CMOS
- didn't work
3. Testing the RAM sticks to see if one is faulty
- no difference

So my guess is now that it's either the PCI-E slot, or the videocard itself...

Any suggestions?

Edit:
Upon trying again, it still gives the first error sound, but after, say, 10 seconds, it gives the regular short beep that accompanies the normal boot-up. (still no video though...)

Hello all,

@ thaCURSEDpie:

I have exactly the same problem with you, mine is:
- Asus P5K
- FSP Power Supply 400 W
- Winfast GTS PX 8600

Try to switch the VGA card to the other PCI-E slot available. To me, it works.
So, in my opinion, it was the PCI-E slot which's malfunctioned.

But still, the usual PCI-E slot can't be used anymore with the VGA card. Never try with other VGA card though..

Does anyone have solution for the malfunction PCI-E? Thanks!

Wow this topic is old.

Turns out the card has died. I quickly bought a new Amd 5 series (tired now, can come up with the full number... its a good one though) card, and my computer is working like a charm.
