Dead video card in one computer and alive in another

No that is a hoax.

If the leaves are still on, I would guess that's its still alive.

Foxconn K7S741MG-6L Motherboard, 2004 new day1 relic?
is this true?, and yours or posted wrong model?.
NO VGA out? at mobo or the video card?
yes k7 , winfast board>?
answers,
SIS chips there are not supported, by (ALL)
No PCI-express slots at all , just AGP.(BAD)
1/2 of all AGP cards made will not work here, (dang)
no SATA ports, just relic IDE(PATA). sad max.

and the coin cell is dead at 10 year old now 2014
2014-2004=10 , spec is 7 year life so its dead and now BIOS goes MAD.(even igpu dead vga rear)

just found a raw mobo in a garage sale>??sure.
foxconn DIY sales, went dead 2012.

no video connected how , NOT TOLD , fail.

and now double dead, the mobo ended all support, gee how can they if SIS died. really/? nobody can !
and this too DEAD....

buy a i3 mobo 2010 and newer
never buy into, SIS, VIA or Nforce ever.
it's junk mobo for only XP.

I will now tell this, horror, back in 2004 !

the VGA out is hard to get working on most then.
let me tell you why, (yes horrors of AGP)
1: 1/2 the AGP cards fail here unless from Foxconn.
2:the bios must be forced to the VGA you want to use and there are 3 choices then, igpu ,agp and pci slot.
one is the default and there was NO AUTO mode then.

best is to reset the MOBO using a new fresh coin cell RTC battery and then no APG card there at all.
and hope the igpu works.(mobo rear edge I/O plate VGA)


3: on some mobo (yes) I had to use very old PCI card, like this one for $10 used
ATI Radeon 9000 64MB PCI Video Graphics Card, With VGA, DVI & S-Video

this last trick if needed allows VGA bios to work
and then in the BIOS video page set it as you want
end legacy ,topic, PCI (non-express) video.

PCI old, is gone and forgotten now.

PCI-express modern/ 2003/4 up.but not yours.
avoid all AGP. the maker had a QVL on AGP that shows, only tiny list of allowed, and is max pain all that.
even bios updates that do not exist now..

then cross test YOUR card in other computer because it might be dead...
lucky that your motherboard is fine...
all those devices are so sensitive... sometimes they die you don't even know why...

run has administrator compatibility set to Windows XP service pack2

sounds like your motherboard malfunctioned. the board was probably starting to go out. thats why it would see the hdd then not.

you sound like youre familiar with computers. you may want to invest in diagnostic cards to troubleshoot problems like this. theyre fairly inexpensive on ebay. basically you insert the card into pci slot and it displays an error code. then you look up the code in a book. works like the obd2 reader for your car.

good luck

bad caps can not work ever. 945 intel chip set is EOL.

2008 is Capacitor plague year. millions suffered;.



FOXCONN ENDED SUPPORT 2019 FOR THEIR DIY BOARDS

wiki the Plague

based on your information the two beeps is an indication that you motherboard is alive and looking for a memory. is the video integrated or you use a separate video card? i think this has something to do with your video. if your video is integrated try putting in a video card
