EP-8K3A EP-8K3A motherboard Video trouble
posted by catsmeow on Jan 14, 2008
PLEASE HELP!!! I have a EP-8K3A EP-8K3A motherboard with a nvidia e-GeForce2 Ti 64mb AGP video card. I think the motherboards VGA port has stopped working. When I start up the computer, the video card fan works but the monitor does not detect the card. I took the card out and tried it on another motherboard and it worked fine. Is this a motherboard AGP port problem??

Not sure how to do this. The computer belongs to friends of mine. They were having trouble with the computer freezing up. I checked the temp of the processor and found it running hot. I shut down the computer and cleaned the fans to the processor and video card. When I restated the computer, the video would not work. Then I started getting 1 long beep that kept repeating itself. The light on the motherboard was not on anymore either.

I can't get into the bios. I tried the video card from my computer inside this computer and it still did not work. The video card is seated in the slot correctly.

OK, If I wanted to enable the add-on card in the BIOS, how would I do it considering I can't get into the bios?:-(

Does this motherboard have a built in VGA? I did not mean to say that the VGA port is not working. I meant the AGP port on the motherboard appears not to be working.

WizDid you enable the add-on card in the BIOS.

Sounds like you didnt put the video ribbon cable back on either tightly or the wrong way

Sorry, wrong post..
Restart, go into bios and make sure that video source is the AGP..

Also, pull the video card again, it may not be totally seated.

You need to borrow a pci video card, and install it. Apparently the onboard and agp port are bad. once you get any video, you can work from there.

No,it does not have a built-in vga.
When you restart it look for a message to run setup. Check the video port and see if agp is selected.
