Confusing Error beeps

Sounds like the vid card itself but your best bet is to test what you can. I would start with finding a regular pci card and pop it in just to see if it boots. If you have another machine with pci-x or a friend kind enough to borrow one i would take that route next. If a pci card works and a different pci-x card doesnt then i would replace the motherboard. Unfortunatly theres not much you can do other than trial and error testing. I would definatly contact whoever you got the vid card from and make them aware of your problem just incase you need an RMA #.

Many thans for the reply. My only option is to take it to my local pc repair shop. I do have a horrible fear that it may be the mother board thats damaged.

Just dropped my pc off at the repair shop and the first thing he asked me was, 'Is the card compatible with your mother board?'
I said it was PCI Express card and the m/b has a PCI Express slot but he said that does'nt mean they will work together. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
