Greetings pilots.
I have had an issue with my main rig, which I have sort of ignored until its broken.
Before Christmas, I had an issue where the machine wouldn't post
the error code was one beep and 2 shorts beeps, which, on an American Megatrends Bios is GFX failure.
this happened a few times, but hard powering off the machine would usually take it to the bios on reboot and from their I oculd get it to post. I tried reseating the card and this seemed to fix it,
in january, last week, it got worse, this happened multiple times until the machine will not post,
so I am now tending to failed graphics card. I am going to take it to our works IT department, but any thoughts from you here? when the machine posted, it was flawless, no issues. can only imagine either the cards died or the pcie slot is busted on the mobo.
O nthe plus side, i might finally get through privateer 2 and wing commander 2 on my general purpose PC, before hitting Wing III
