Hi,
Today i RMAed my 7900GTX for giving my artifacts.. so now i had no video untill they return it, but fortunetly a friend of mine had an old Leadtek 5700 PCI-e with 256MB.. so we put it in my A8N32-SLI Dlx only to get a lot of beeps, no video... We tried the other PCI-e slot with same results... Then we put it in a DFI mobo, no video either.
So i know most likely the card is just dead, but i'm not sure, my friend said it worked perfectly before..
so are there any other reasons why it won't work? And can i do something about it?
There is no FX5700 PCI-e, it's either AGP or standard PCI

well.. i don't have any other cards in there and the card will not give me any video output al all.. only beeps, i looked at the beepcodes from the award bios and found out these beeps mean there is something really badly wrong with the videocard... so i'll have to find something else :(
