Hello to all,
I am new to this forum and was hoping for a little guidance if someone has the time. Unfortunately I am unluck enough to have an oldish HP pc that has one of those average onboard viseo chips. The system only comes with PCI slots no AGP so I opted for an ATI Radeon 7500 128MB PCI Card that "apparently" should plug and play. I tried this and the monitor stayed black, however more alarmingly there was a series of quick beeps from the internal speaker as if there was a problem picking up the card at all. I had the monitor hooked up to the new card at the time also. I then removed the card and checked the BIOS - it automatically picked up the PCI device and changed to that from the onboard. No matter what I do the system will not recognise the card. I even tried installing the card on another suitable PC however had the same result of a few quick beeps. Does this sound like a faulty card to those out there?
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.
