cubx dead?
Hello,
I have a cubx which was working fine until I changed graphics cards. I had an old matrox milennium PCI which I wanted to test if it still worked. Put it in a free PCI-slot but forgot to take the present AGP-card out of its slot. Since then the cubx won't boot. Tried it with only the AGP card in it, but won't boot. Cleared CMOS, but that didn't help either. Anyone got an idea what's wrong? Regards, Adrian |

When you say "won't boot" what exactly does it do? Do you get any output at all? Will it get into the BIOS setup? Do you get any type of error, eg beeps? -- Ian. EOM |

You wouldn't believe how many people get that wrong ;-) So are you sure you have the agp card solidly bottomed in its socket? /daytripper |

You wouldn't believe how many people get that wrong ;-) So are you sure you have the agp card solidly bottomed in its socket? I know. It happened to me once, when I hotplugged a floppy drive. The drive didn't survive. Yes, the AGP card is solidly bottomed in its socket. |
