Hey all-

I'm helping a friend get a video card going <I use this term loosely at this point).  The PC is a Compaq 5000us.  As per usual, the woman has no manual & HP is no help, once again.

There is no setting within the limited BIOS to disable the onboard.  I tried uninstalling it, shutting down, installing the new card & rebooting.

Worked fine- once.  Next start-up only one long, one short beep- black screen.  Code points to BIOS something or other.  I moved the jumper over & back.  It again fired up OK- two times this time.  Now it's back to the beeps.

I tried it in all the slots.  Same thing.

Very frustrating as it does work.  I noticed that the onboard adapter pops back up in display adapter- so I tagged it as "disabled in this profile"- no go.

Help?
