I'm in a fix. I'm installing a machine, relevant details:
ASUS M2N-SLI (Initial BIOS)
Brisbane 5200+ DO (Supported by the initial BIOS of the board)
G-Skill 5-5-5-15 1.8v 2x 1GB kit.
XpertVision GeForce 8800 GT
Corsair VX450 PSU (calculated, should suffice for the setup)
Everything properly installed, I'm greeted with a blank screen, the beep sounds like: 1 long beep followed by 2 short beeps. Google tells me that's an error caused due to bad video-card or if the monitor isn't properly connected. Screwup: both mine and this new monitor connect using D-Sub, the card includes a DVI to D-Sub dongle. I have no clue if the beep code is caused due to a bad dongle. I have an older 6800 GT that has a D-Sub dongle of its own but I gave that card and all its accessories away. What are my options now?
1. Should I insert the card in the second (black) PCI-E slot? Will a card boot from the secondary PCI-E slot in SLI/CF boards?
2. DVI male-to-male cables aren't found here, I've to get them from another city, takes a week.
3. Bad dongle?
4. Dead card? Pray it not be this?
5. I tried using the 2x molex to PCI-E power adapter, no luck.
6. Something else?
