Asus P3V4X-beeps on cold start-up-->

[reddog4629]

Have a PIII700e/933
Gladiac 32MB GeForce
256MB PC-133
Every time I cold start I get 1-long and 3-short beeps. Very anoying-even when it's not OCed.
Any ideas?

i have similar set up p3v4x
pIII600@800
Elsa Gladiac Geforce 2 32MB
256 pc133
soundblaster live
ASUS manual says 1 then 3 beaps is video card not found or bad video memory
I only have this problem when removing all power to computer and switching on immediately after re powering. If i leave AC power to power supply on never any problem. If i wait 15 to 30 seconds after power up to start also no problem. Not sure why. Maybe there is some power still applied to card when power supply has power. Never checked further. I either leave power on or wait before start up.

That certainly looks like it should solve the problem. I have the soldering equipment and experience to do this but i don't think its worth the effort but if you must go for it. I haven't had tome to read OC AU for the past few months so i missed that. Ptease tell us if it works. Then if i have it apart for some other reason i will do it.
