GA-7DXR+ and Leadtek 6800GT
Hi all,
I recently got a Leadtek 6800GT, but my system fails the POST when I put the card in. My motherboard doesn't seem to support it. My system is: CPU - AMD AthlonXP 1800+ Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-7DXR+ RAM - 1GB, mixed brands PSU - 400w (dunno the brand) Graphics - Leadtek GeForce 6800GT (trying to replace the GeForce4 MX440) Now I know my system is old and in need of an upgrade, but I expected the graphics card to at least work at AGP4x. The Mobo is AGP2x/4x, and it's a universal AGP slot capable of 1.5v, and the BIOS is set to AGP4x. So... is this Leadtek card not going to work with AGP4x at all? When I turn the system on the board gives a long beep followed by two short beeps. I read that this means it's an AGP issue... Any help? Thanks, -- Vu. |

Thanks, Did you hook up the two power connectors on the card to your power supply? I know the 6800XT has them and they have to be connected for the card to function. I think yours has at least one power connector, check and make sure. |

Thanks Tim, I think the card jest needed to be seated properly. It all works now... although I don't think the PSU is quite up to it. The card gives an irritatingly loud screech if the power connector is not plugged in, letting you know it's not happy. Vu. |
