Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Can't boot the system with 2 video cards
Yuri   2004-07-24 14:17
I'm running 2 monitors on PC (SY-7VBA133/P3-933) with ATI Radeon7000 AGP. It works fine. I'm trying to add two more monitors using ATI Radeon9200SE.
Unfortunately, I can't even boot the system (Win2000) with this second card in the PCI slot (I tried different slots). I hear unusual beep and nothing happens.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Is your beep a BIOS POST code? Lists of codes are at: http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml

I'd guess it's a BIOS problem at the time it tries to initialise the second display adapter (i.e. those two might not work on your particular motherboard), but the above link help finding out what your computer is trying to tell you through the beep code.
