defaultly this vga card came up with 1MB Ram but previously my onboard vga chip having 64mb Ram

now i did n't get any flickering from my monitor but after loading of the O/S system is giving long beep and hanging up

i disabled on board vga chip from bios for avoid confilcts

but after loading O/S system is giving long beep and hanging up

You never said that you ininstalled the drivers for the cards. Try this:

Uninstall current graphics card drivers. Right-click My Computer and select Properties. Under the Hardware tab, find the button to open the Device Manager. Your graphics card should be listed under the Display Adapter heading. Double-click the name of your graphics card to open a properties window for your current card. Last step: Under the Driver tab, click the Uninstall button.


Install new drivers. Turn on your PC and install the drivers. Windows XP should automatically recognize the new hardware and walk you through the installation wizard. If Windows doesn't detect the card, click Settings from the Start menu. Open the Control Panel and click Add Hardware. From there, a wizard will help you install the new drivers from the CD that came bundled with your new card. It's a good idea to check the graphic card vendor's Web site for more up-to-date drivers, just in case the vendor has released drivers since manufacturing your card. Once you've downloaded the drivers, simply restart your PC. Now, you're ready to start gaming.

If this doesnt work, then your card is BAD.
Let me know how you make out.

- santhosh, Try running the cd that came with the graphic card, or better yet, go to the video card manufacturer website and get new drivers. Maybe new drivers will have solved the problem.
Another thought is the card could be overheating, make sure that the fan(if it has one) is working.
