Subject: [PCBUILD] Boot Problem After Replacing PCI Display Adapter with AGP
Adapter


> I just replaced my PCI Voodoo3 Display Card with an AGP Voodoo5 5500. When
I boot my machine for the first time, it gives a long bleep and does not
recognize the card, on reboot it works fine.  I browsed the motherboard
manual, but this didn't help, and there are no jumpers on the voodoo card to
change.

Never heard of this. Plus, I never put any card in first PCI, just leave
some space so that AGP card won't overheat.

Apart from what Mary suggested, you may also try clear COMS, I remember that
with ASUS CUSL2 mobo, if you boot with AGP/PCI card first, you may not be
able to boot from the onboard VGA even you changed the BIOS setting, unless
you clear COMS (the jumper is hidden).
