4890 causing long beeps at post ?

[IanBoyle]

hi,

got the 4890 then needed a better power supply to run it took a few days to swop a friends corsair 650 watt as he had got a bigger one

problem is the thing wont post at all i get this long intermittant beep which usually means graphics or memory or power supply
i was using the memory already the power supply works fine so that left me wondering about the card

i happened to notice while the radion version of this card i have has 4 leds that blink on and of when you switch the machine off and on
or there should be 4 but for some reason only 3 of the four light up on my card
i even tried switching the two six pin power plugs around but the same led fails to light

my question is does anybody else happen to have this card if so does the four lights on yours light up at post ?

thank you for all your pasrt help

Ian

has your mate got a card with two power connectors?
if so try his card in your rig, if it's ok then your problem is your 4890.

not at my normal pc atm, i'll check the lights on my 4890 when i'm back and let you know.
