Replaced G200 with G400, now no boot

[JPorter]

Yesterday I took out my G200 8mb and popped in a G400 32mb, and now I get the three beeps of death on boot, and the POST doesn't even come up. My system is a PII Dell Dimension w/ 160 MB Ram and ran AGP 2x with the G200. Maybe the card is bad? The processor is o/c'ed from 266 to 300, but I doubt that has anything to do with this.

The weird thing is that the card ran fine in a friend of mine's PIII, and now that I have it it won't work. It was in a static bag for transport so I doubt it was shocked or anything.

Any thoughts? Help!

Hi,

You will simply need to set the AGp aperture size in your BIOS to 256 and all will work. This is a bug with the phoenix BIOS.

JP,

Have you tried removing and plugging your G400 back in. I had the same kind of problem when I took out my G200 and installed a G400.

Sweet! The switch to 256MB AGP aperture size fixed it. It works perfectly now. Thanks!
