Hi..........i have a big problem...I turned on my computer and it didnt do anything except for three short beeps....so i looked in my motherboard manual -> video card not found or memory bad. I have a TNT2 NVIDIA RIVA 32mb AGP 4X/2X....and my motherboard ASUS P3V133 via agp 2x....... what could have happend?????????? please help.......can i go and buy a geforce without thinking its going to BURN?????????
Could be bad memory, a RAM tester would be useful, take the RAM to a PC shop and they can test it for you. Also, if it's bad now is a good time to upgrade, as 32 is not too much.

If your graphics card breaks consider that a blessing, time to upgrade it. TNT2's should be publicly collected then executed infront of a large audience. e.g drop the dead donkey already.
