    Asus GT220 1GB graphic card problem

    Recently when I start my PC, the bios will come out 1 long beep then follow by 2 short beep which is "Indicates a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information."

    Normally it will keep repeat this 1 long 2 short beep and will not proceed to load OS at all and stuck at there but for my case, it will just simply sound 1 time of 1 long 2 short beep then it pass and start process to load the windows but my monitor don't have display. The indicator at monitor light will keep blinking. I had test the graphic card to another PC and switch another graphic card to this pc to test so I can confirmed that it is graphic card problem.

    I had take out the card and do some dust cleaning, clean the golden connection and look for bad caps and bad soldering but so far all look good. Then later I tried a few time to boot my PC, after a few time, it work and the display able to show out.

    Next day when I start PC, same thing happen again so I shut it down. Later I try again, it work.

    I want to ask anyone here can know which part of graphic card giving this problem? Is that the connector port (such as dvi or VGA port) that going to connect to monitor or the GPU itself? I don't think it is Video ram because for video it will come out special texture on screen.

    Hope familiar with this and able to tell me what part of problem in the card.
    Thanks

    1 long beep 2 short beeps is usually GPU not detected. Clean the contacts on the graphics card and make sure it is seated properly.

      Yah I do that before and test in 2 PC. Sometime ok, sometime cannot but even cannot work, it just sound 1 time then still let the PC to continue boot into windows, just I can't see anything only. Suppose it should keep repeat on the beep then stuck at there and should not able to continue load, don't know why it got problem and still can go.

          If it doesn't detect a GPU it will continue to boot anyway. Some HP desktop will repeat the pattern 8 times before actually booting, but they still boot in the end.

          I'd check the GPU VCore voltage to make sure it's not a power rail issue on the graphics card itself. Could check the VRAM voltage too.

          Did someone mess with the VBIOS? Maybe you could try to flash it, although it is rarely the issue.

          If all the above is good, then it may be a dead GPU.

            I second this notion.

            I had a completely different video card do the same thing (well, in my case, no beeps from the motherboard, because it always ignores VGA errors). It was a Radeon HD6850. After letting the card "warm up" for a while with the PC turned On, eventually it would detect and work (and it didn't always artifact.) I reflowed it and got it working once again. But for how long, there's no telling.

            So yes, that GT220 is probably dying / on its way out. You can try reflowing it if you want (and there's no guarantee that that will fix the issue, or that if it does, that it will stay fixed), or you can just get a new video card.

            I no longer do any of that anymore, simply because IME, most video card problems are due to bad GPU chip. Rarely anything else (unless it's a used video card from someone else and there are chipped SMD components - but those, I always look out for.)

              Yesterday, same thing happen. The pattern now will be, when I switch on, it will 1 long beep 2 short beep so I switch off then after 10 second, I switch on again, it work.
              This already happen in these 2 days. (All will beep in first time switch on but will work on second time)

                After 3 days of this pattern, Friday, Saturday and Sunday all ok. No more this pattern. All switch on first time got display. (I not done anything on that period at all)
                So strange.

                  That reminds me of my Asus A7V8X-X (Via KT400) motherboard when I was trying out a Radeon 9600 SE, back in 2004, IIRC. I wake up to use the PC and the Award BIOS, (typical for socket 462) will go "BLEEP---BLEEP-BLEEP-BLEEP".
                  It seemed that it had to be warmed up, IIRC, LOL.

                  That was the worst incident since my Soyo SY-K7VTA-B motherboard with a T-bird 900 Mhz, on a chilly morning, would play a telephone-operator-like recording "The VGA card might not be installed properly" and if I hit reset or power cycle, it boots the OS like nothing happened. The Deer DR 250 ATX didn't help, of course!

                      If you cared to read my previous posts above, you wouldn't be asking this. But I'll repeat myself once more to save you the trouble of scrolling up:

                      --- Your video card is dying and it CANNOT get better. ---

                      If you don't want to reflow it, then there is nothing else you can do to revive it. Any "working" behavior you get will only be at the card's (or God's?) mercy, and it's not going to be for long. In other words, the problem will only get worse and worse until the video card is completely dead.

                      So either sell it as is, try reflowing it, or just throw it away.

                      Sorry to be so direct, but that's all there is left for this one.

                        ASUS RX570 Graphic Card not detected. Please help
                        by wkholi
                        I have an. ASUS RX570 and an H!110 Gigabyte motherboards with i3 6100 processor.

                        The card is not detected in the device manager ( and Hive. Linux-based OS too).

                        Hence I can not install the driver.

                        I tried it on a friend's computer and it worked right away!

                        Any Idea where. could my problem be?

                        Thanks in advance.

                        ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI - BIOS Help
                        by grimacelord
                        Hello,

                        I have spent the last hour on this and I guess this is just over my head, so here I am.

                        I have an ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard here that needs to have the BIOS updated in order to accept the latest CPUs.

                        The BIOS chips seem to come as a set of two: GD25B64ESIG and GD25B128ESIG. My guess is one of them is a fail-safe for the main BIOS? I really don't know. Or one of them is ME and other is BIOS? I don't know.

                        Anyway, I took dumps of both chips and then downloaded the latest update for this motherboard from ASUS's website...

                        With ASUS, not everything is quite so simple. I will show you my way. It may be longer or harder but it is the right way to do it in my humble opinion.

                        For example, you can have 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all being the same model, all of which will have different BIOS versions.

                        I will give you an example and my version of preparing BIOS from ASUS website and in the process I am always cleaning Intel ME while doing it so you have fully cleaned BIOS, no DMI data, no password, nothing.

                        hi,
                        this laptop works but temperature rise too much. I dismounted mb and cleaned well. There was a lot of dust inside.
                        I think that there is a graphic chipset issue because when I power the machine I get this error:
                        "the detected discrete gpu VBIOS is not meant for this system"
                        This make me think that maybe the gpu VBIOS has to be re programmed.
                        BTW someone already worked on this mainboard. Near graphic board there is Winbond flash memory that I think its stored the VBIOS.
                        I attach some pictures and one of message error I get when I power on the ...

                        Asus GTX1060 graphic card issue. Suspected mosfets drivers ... need advice!
                        by Weelcup
                        Hi Friends.
                        I have an ASUS GTX1060 Turbo graphic card.
                        One of the mosfets was shorted. And all the mosfts drivers were defected (shorted) ..

                        I have replaced the shorted mosfet. And couple of the 2.2ohms resistors. And because i could not recognise the mosfet drivers on board i choosed NCP5901B based on pinout (mainly the GND pin) ..

                        Now the card turns on and post screen . Everything seems ok until the driver is installed then the screen goes blank and the card fan runs at Max speed. Also the pc is not responsive.

                        I would like to hear...
