Lazarus

Tried an ATI RADEON 32mb DDR
Then a TI4200
Now a RADEON 9200SE

all I get is 1 long 2 short beeps and no picture.

All thats in it is P4 2ghz and 256mb pc2100 ram....havent attatched
floppy,kb,hd,cd yet

Any ideas anyone? Is it my 300w PSU thats too weak to power the agp?
 
Lazarus,

I am using a Diamond Stealth S60 ATI Radeon 7000 card with a P4P400-E Deluxe
board and it works just fine. P4, 3.0Ghz, 2GB RAM, Windows XP Home. I did
not turn on the system until I had the floppy, HD, keyboard and mouse
attached, but I don't know if that's your problem. Sorry, but I can't offer
any more help -- I'm new to all this stuff myself.

Your board has the Voice POST chip, in the lower right hand corner
of the motherboard. Why not connect an amplified speaker to the
lime colored, Lineout jack, and listen to any messages it is
speaking ? Even if you install a sound card, error messages continue
to come out on that jack. (Make sure the two jumpers are on the
FP_AUDIO header, for audio signal continuity. Item #12 in connector
list in the manual, pg.2-34 or so.)

Beep codes are last page, last table of this doc. Beep codes
don't really help too much, in diagnosis, due to the AMI BIOS
beeping for every installed USB device as well:

It could be a memory problem. Hope the memory is unbuffered and
not registered memory.

HTH,

It was the ram!!!!

So despite the fact that almost every other bios uses a beep code of 1 long
2 short for a vga failure this board does that for a ram failure.

I found out by plugging a speaker into the board and a voice tells you
"memory check fail"

1long 2 short is Award BIOS error code. Your BIOS is AMIBIOS.

It was a memory problem and the memory I was trying to use was indeed
registered but the asus site says it will run registered memory but as non
regestered!

Thanks for the replies people!
