Default Strangest computer problems.... - 08-07-2004, 08:49 PM

Ok, I'm stumped. Bear in mind my job is to fix peoples computers all day long...

I have a Radeon9500 pro in this computer. Yesterday, the computer starts beeping like crazy when I turn it on, and then says something about auxillary power not being connected. Well, it is. I wiggles cables, and it works. Great.

Today, get home from work. Hasnt been used since this morning, when it worked fine. Start it up, ATI drivers dont start blah blah blah its in 16 colors and all fudged up. Also, now there are TWO Radeon 9500 Pro's in my device manager, one with - secondary after it. When removed from DM and rebooted, it comes up as a PCI video card. What the hell? I havent got a PCI video card and this was never there until now!

I updated the video card and motherboard drivers, still the same problem. Any ideas?
