| Ok I've tried the X800XL in the motherboard with the current 7.9 drivers and it works fine. Even when I first switched the machine on. It seems to be an issue with the power supply. Please could anybody confirm this, Thank you. Stephen. |

| Did you buy the X1900Xt new? If you are able I suggest that you try the GPU in a different comp before you splash out on a new PSU

| Hi SW, Well, I bought the X1900XT on ebay from a business seller. It was brand new on the auction. He did say if I had any problems with it I could send it back to him. Thing is, its' been a few months now. It was working fine when I first got it. It does say on the box 450W Power Supply with a 30A 12v Rail. My current Power Supply is a ChiefTec 550W Single 12v Rail with 18A I might have damaged the graphics card by not providing enough power to it. I didn't realise it needed so much power. Another thing is... I just bought a new power supply...it was a impulse decision... Its' the Enermax Infiniti 650W three 12v at 28A, 28A, 30A. I wanted a good make with plenty of space for future components and it has about 82%-85% efficiency. Hopefully, fingers crossed here. I will set it up correctly. If the graphics card still makes the same beeps...then it was probably the graphics card at fault. Then again, I suppose it is better to have enough power to effciently run the graphics card in the first place. I don't have another machine capable enough of testing the X1900XT. My other (older machine) is an Athlon 700Mhz with Windows98SE Any suggestions? Thanks again, Steve. |

| Oh well since you have already bought a new PSU, all you can do it hope that that fixes the problem Otherwise you may have damaged it, but I doubt it
