Hi.

I'm getting a VGA BIOS error I believe as you were. As soon as the board tries to initialize the VGA, I get the VGA beep code and then the screen goes black.

So what I did to make sure that it wasn't the card, I flashed the card with a totally different BIOS. I flashed the mstr/slv GPUs with the Asus TOP BIOS - I still get the VGA beep code but the card runs a hell of a lot better.

I need to do more testing, but I believe it only happens when the machine is overclocked....my machine is down atm, I'm waiting on a new CPU.

With two different BIOSes giving me the same VGA beep code, I was thinking that it may be an incompatibility issue with the board OR a PSU problem as suggested by another member.

However, my PC P&C 1KW-SR should be plenty for one graphics card and so I sort of ruled it out...but who knows....

Any thoughts?
