My Motherboard is not detecting my vid card at startup! HELLLLP!!

It seems my motherboard is not detecting my GeForce4 MX 420. It makes 1 long and 2 short beeps, and according to BIOSCENTRAL (http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/amibeep.htm) it is a Vid ROM prob.
How do I fix this?? It seems that the PC is working, but the light on the monitor is orange (normally means that PC is shut, when monitor on).
PLEASE HELP ME!!
Iam going crazy, I have to do things, and I cant!
AHHH the specs:
2.4 GHZ P4
256 MB RAM Kingston (2 128MB RIMMs)
60gb 7200RPM Maxtor
MSI Nvidia GeForce4 MX 420 (64MB)
MBoard: Intel D850EMV2
I CANT GET IRQs CAUSE THE MONITOR IS ALWAYS BLACK AS I EXPLAINED PREVIOUSLY!
HHEEEEELLLPPP!!

After further review
I think you have an image until windows boots, am I correct? You can at least see the POST screen and can enter the BIOS correct?
Perhaps the drivers have become corrupted. Try to get into safe mode, then make sure you have the driver version you are currently using available and go to the control panel and uninstall the drivers via the Add Remove programs icon. Restart and re-enter Safe mode and re-install the drivers again.
If you see some progress is being made but still have problems, you may have to use a Driver Cleaner program, you can find info at the top of this VGA forum on that and make sure you read ALL documentation.
Try to think of any changes or programs installed or un-installed prior to this event and let us know.
PS You never told us what OS is in use.....

  • DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

    I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
    Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
    I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
    When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:

    (Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
    So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
    I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
    I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
    Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
    Cheers,
    Russ.

    Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
    The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
    Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

  • Vista can not detect my graphic card ATI HD2600 on Satellite A210-128

    Hallo,
    Can someone help me with this issue?
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A210-128 laptop with vista separately on DVD, but it seems that the dvd is damaged and I can not use it any more.
    I have installed on my laptop a brand new Vista from the original DVD that Im using it on my desktop, but the problem is that vista can not detect my graphic card hd2600.
    So Im stuck...... I tried to install the ati driver from the Toshiba update site but I get a error because ccc can not detect a graphic card ?????/
    What to do????
    It is something special with the DVD that i have from Toshiba ?????
    Thank you very much.

    The whole issue is really mysterious. In my opinion there are two options;
    Either your have used and tried to install a wrong graphic driver or there is something wrong with your GPU chip.
    Are you 100% that you tired an right graphic driver from the Toshiba European driver page?
    If yes, then I recommend contacting the ASP in your country because this could be really an hardware issue.
    Furthermore I found you second posting in other thread
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=142621#142621
    and I think more and more that this must be an graphic card issue.

  • HP DV5t 5-in-1 card reader does not detect my SD card

    The 5-in-1 card reader slot of my HP dv5t was working fine until yesterday, and reading my Canon SD card perfectly. However, today upon inserting the card, the card reader is not detecting the SD card. The card doesn't even show up in my device manager. My SD card has no issues since it works perfectly fine on other laptops (I even tried it on another dv5t and it worked). My guess is that there is something wrong with the hardware, since the card doesn't get recognized by the reader even when I use it on Ubuntu. Can anyone please suggest any solution?
    I tried contacting hp customer care and after an excrutiating wait of 1 hour or so I had to hang up - out of boredom. My laptop is under warranty but I am really pissed off with hp, I think hp laptops have some of the worst hardware. Also, it takes ages until you can speak to a customer care executive. Can someone please help me? If hp were to give me 70-80% of my money back I would happily swap hp for a T61 or even a Dell!

    I'm having the same exact problem on my dv5z.  I even tried downloading and reinstalling the drivers, but it appears to be a hardware issue.  I had a similar problem with my wireless card early on and I think it may be a build quality problem.  Any suggestions other than dealing with sending the unit in for repair?

  • Dv9810us after recovery windows will not detect the wireless card that is bulit into the computer.

    After running the recovery (Vista 32) from the recovery partition my computer no longer sees the Wifi card installed.
    There is nothing in device manager, the hp wireless wizard doesn't detect anything. I went to HP's site and download the 3 different wifi drivers that it would be and installed them. I can not rememeber what the adapter was.,. thats a problem.
    This system was a refurbed unit when I bought it, if the salesman was correct it was recalled because of a faulty Wireless card. I wonder if they replaced the card with one that the restore partition installation could not detect.
    Any ideas?

    first make sure the wifi is turned on either by a switch located on the front of keyboard or a soft touch icon near the display.. if you have the soft touch make sure it's blue in color if its orange its turned off

  • Win XP does not detect onboard ethernet card

    Hi,
    i have bought a used T41 (2373-tg5) and installed XP Pro SP3.
    I have installed all the drivers and everything is working fine. The only problem i have, is the fact, that XP does not detect my onboard 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN card. It does not show up in the device manager and manually searching for new hardware is to no use.
    I have also looked at the BIOS config, the onboard ethernet card is listed as being "enabled". I am sure, there was a device marked with a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager named "ethernet adapter" once. I am not sure, wether this was the WLAN card, i have successfully installed a driver for...it is completely gone now though... 
    Is this some weird XP thing? I thought, i had read something like this once, but cannot remember.

    cnhoff, wilkommen im Forum,
    when you enter BIOS the MAC address of the internal LAN card should be shown at the bottom, is it showing a number or is it all zeros? All zeros means that there is no LAN installed which would mean in your case a new mainboard or using a pcmcia LAN card.

    That's because the phone was almost certainly hacked to be used on your network.  Updating it has relocked the phone to the original carrier. 

  • Windows does not detect my sound card

    Hello, I have a thinkcentre m58p dt. I had to reinstall windows(same version which was already installed before) but since I did it integratedsound behaves a strange way. Windows detects it and it appears in the device windows menu. I can use headphones but I can’t use the speaker like I used to do. Windows says the device is not connected.

    Spinedoc,
    This problem may be caused by the USB ports on your system not providing the required amount of power at device start. There are a few ways to get around this problem:
    ) Make sure that you have all of your motherboard, chipset, and USB updates available for your system installed.
    2) Go into Device Manager/Uni'versal Serial Bus Controllers and double click on one of your USB root hubs (or USB 2.0 root hub). Go to the power management tab and take the checkmark out of the top option that says to allow Windows to disable power to the device. Repeat this for all the root hubs.
    3) If none of the others work, then you will want to try the card on another system, or with a powered USB hub to ensure that there is no problem with the sound device itself. If it works on another system then you will want to try it with a powered USB hub on the system in question.

  • Motherboard is not detecting my soundcard Please he

    ok heres what happened, i was flashed my motherboard bios because i was told it would fix a tempereture reading problem(temps where way to high)anyways after i rebooted i noticed i didnt have any sound.As i was reinstalling my drivers i got an error message saying my soundcard wasnt detected.Does anyone know what i can do? I have a SB Audigy 2.thanks

    If, "... I was flashed my motherboard bios..." means you updated your bios then you need to check that onboard audio has been disabled in the bios (as enabled is the default). The other thing that your adviser should have warned you about is that playing around with the bios is risky.
    If this does not work check that the soundcard is getting power by looking to see if there is a red light in the optical out port. If this is the case the card is possibly toast and you need to buy a new one.
    I have experienced this by inserting a microphone in the headset jack and received the same message but in that case the card worked again after a few days of non use.

  • P35 motherboard suddenly not detecting IDE hard drive

    Hi,
    I have a P35 MSI platinum motherboard. E6750 Core 2 duo 2.6HZ cpu, 2 x 1GB DDR2 ram,a standard DVD R/W, a 400GB Hitachi Deskstar HDD, a GTS 8800 graphics card and running Ultimate vista (oem).
    She's been running fine for over a year.
    Yesterday - I turned her on and although on initial boot up you can see '400GB PATA' , and the MSI loading screen vista won't load and screen is blank.
    I put in the vista disk for repair but at the point where it shows your operating system - that space is empty.
    So I went into BIOS and the HDD is not being detected at all.
    I toggled some of the IDE settings but still no go.
    Both my HDD and the DVD R/W are on the iDE ribbon cable. DVD seems to be working fine and, as stated above, HDD has been working fine for a year until yesterday.
    Any ideas as to how I can get BIOS to re-discover the HDD? OR any ideas why it isn't being discovered now  (after all this time)?
    Also - to get everything back up and try to recover some of the data off my IDE HDD I am thinking about buying a SATA HDD, reinstalling windows and working from there. Any reason why this shouldn't work?
    Finally - IF that works, I have a number of IDE drives lying around that I'd like to connect up to the MSI p35 - but at the moment the ribbon cable I have only has two connectors (currently used by by DVD R/W and my rebellious IDE HDD).  Is it possible to add say 2 more IDE drives? would I need to get a ribbon cable with more connectors? Or is it not possible and IDE cables only come with 2 connectors anyway?
    Any help much appreciated - I am not exactly a noob but I have nowhere near the skill levels of some of you guys - really appreciate your thoughts.
    Cheers,
    TOOTR

    Different hard drive, see if bios acknowledges the drive is there
    Guys, the Drive is properly recognized on BIOS Level...
    Quote
    It seems to show up in the second screen very briefly  - I clearly see '400GB'
    Quote
    This time F11 worked and I had a boot order choice. I clicked on the IDE HDD (hitachi).
    Quote
    I can see it is if I try to change the Boot sequence - I can clearly see HItachi and the DVD R/W.
    ...and no errors are found by the Hitachi Diagnostic Tool...
    Quote
    Ok  - the quick test showed no errors.
    Quote
    the advanced test found no errors either.
    @TOOTR:
    Can you hook up the hard drive to a working computer and run chkdsk (Checkdisk) and fixmbr (or a similar tool)?  Try to access and backup any important data on the drive before you check its data/partition structure for integrity.

  • Max Not Detecting PCMCIA GPIB Card

    I'm having trouble getting NI MAX to detect that I have a PCMCIA GPIB Card in the computer.  The C-Drive under hardware manager knows it's in the slot and says it's working fine.  I tried to uninstall the GPIB Card so I could reinstall it but it won't let me. 
    I also tried adding hardware to MAX and selecting the PCMCIA card but it says that it can't be added.
    I'm using the latest versions of GPIB, VISA, and MAX software that I can on a Windows 2000 computer. 
    Thanks

    Hello,
    When you say MAX is having trouble detecting the card, what exactly is happening? Do you see the card in MAX, but then you can't communicate with it? Does it show up with an error, or does it not show up at all? Could you give me the exact error message that you see. Are you using this on a laptop, or are you using a PCI-PCMCIA converter on a desktop? Does this happen on multiple computers? And just to verify, what version of NI-488.2 are you using? Hit <F5> in MAX to refresh the window and see if it shows up then. You could also try reinstalling the NI-488.2 driver, to see if it helps. Please let me know the answers to the questions above, and we can go from there to try to get this issue resolved. Thanks!

  • N9 Can Not Detect the Sim Card

    Hi Guys,
    I have N9 which was dead due to some reasons, I just gave to Nokia Care and they have reinstalled the software and returned to me.
    I insereted my microsim and it didn't detected, they Nokia people used their sim card and that worked. I just bought another new sim card and put it in, it worked let's say 2 hours but now again showing the icon of "No Sim Card". I tried restarting, removing sim and inserting again etc...but till now no Luck.
    I am extremely angry as I paid a huge some for this device and it didn't work for me. I just bought it 2 weeks back.
    Any Idea what could be the problem, I am going to sue the mfs if they are not going to give me a new device or money back.
    Thanks.

    If it stops recognizing the sim card after a while it could be due to wear and tear, but since it's new and you have tried a new sim card I would say it's obvious that there is a hardware fault with the device. Could be the contacts reading the sim card.
    Get it replaced or take it back for repair. They should be helpful fixing this.
    Hope you get it sorted and you become a happy camper as I am - so far

  • Why does my macbook pro's built-in card reader not detect my SD card?

    I have a Macbook Pro 15-inch Retina (Late 2013) and it has a built-in card reader. My SD card was working perfectly with the reader some days back, however, now it has all of a sudden stopped working! The funny thing is that when I put the same SD card into an external card reader connected to the same macbook, it works perfectly. Also, strangely, my card reader still works perfectly well with another SD card I have.
    So, both the card reader and the SD card appear to be working separately, but why are they not working together?

    two things to try
    1. Reset SMC data. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
    2. Do not push the card(s) all the way into the slot . back it out a fraction 1/16-1/8 inch until it appears in finder/desktop/etc...
