I have a Soyo K7vme motherboard and am trying to install an ATI 9700 pro. When I boot up, the monitor gets no signal at all and the bios beeps 8 times signaling a video card failure. Obviously this would lead me to believe that I have a bad video card BUT when I try to boot up without plugging in the video card power supply i get a signal from the card and message telling me that I neglected to plug in the extension power cable for my radeon 9700. So now i am confused - this error message is part of the video card bios if the card is bad then I should not be getting a message from the bios!! Does anyone at all have any ideas!! Please!!!
