Well i have buy from friend such graphic card
GF4 mx 440
(http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/sc/31120639-2-200-0.gif)
and on his motherboard card runs good computer boot up nice
when i try it on my motherboard is like no grapihc card installed ;s
AGP port is good i now write with VooDoo3 on it
so? whare is the problem if someone have exp in such thing pls help ^^
Well, we can't help much if you don't describe the system. I suppose that you are trying to put an AGP 4x or 8x video in a AGP 2x mobo. Again - I suppose. What's the mobo, the PSU... ?
when i try it on my motherboard is like no grapihc card installed ;s
and what's happened exactly ?
Well
i have
motherboard Procomp BVK2A
(http://www.bytemag.ru/images/No4/procomp.jpg)
to the AGP this motherboard have AGP x4
and if i installthat GF4 to motherboard it is singal *beep**beep*=no grappich card in slot ;s
i thoth that is ram problem and beeps for rams is *beep**beep* in the loop ;/ so any sugestion ?
Edit
that nasty GF are tested on AGP x2 x4 and AGP PRO ;s

That's odd. There might be a problem with the AGP 4x support on your motherboard. Can you try another AGP 4x video ? The other problem might be the power supply unit.
i tested that gf with diffrent PSU 300W and 350W with same result
but in bios ifen on voodoo i have enbale agpx4 mode when i disable the effect is thae same as on gf monitor dont start and*beep*beep* ;s
This weekend, I will try to find the manual of the mobo on Procomp site.
well i have manual ^^
but ;s
dont read somthing about that

Have you tried to use another AGP video, a TNT2/GF1/2 or Radeon 7xxx/8xxx for example ? I'm beginning to think that there is something with that GF4MX440.
yes i did tnt2 works,Radeon 9200 works ;s VooDoo 3 works ;s GF4MX does not work ;/

Indeed, i read it and nothing about that.
But some ideas :
Can you check that your card is seated firmly in its slot ?
Try to press down firmly (but carefully) on the card

Or maybe it's making bad contact. Make sure both the AGP slot and the video are clean.
I hope it's not, but that GF4MX might have been accidentaly damaged. A static electricity discharge kills PC equipement instantly. If someone has touched it when he was charged, even if he didn't feel it, might have caused damage to the video. Try it again on your friend's PC, to see if it's working properly.
have you tried upgrading the VIDEO CARD BIOS??? If other cards work in the system, then the card is most likely the fault. do you have another gf4 mx440 to put in this rig? and does the card work in another motherboard?

pls look at that agp slot pins :F are that difrenc can be my problem ? or this is with all that cards ?
The AGP 2x connector (the one that the VooDoo has) should have one notch and the AGP 4x - two notches, so they are OK.
use the motherboard that it DOES run in to upgrade the video BIOS.
well i have littel walk with this yesterday i tested with difrent dive in to the slot and i notice one thing cpu start in sec light up LED's and nothing first idea (PSU is NOT ENOUGH) i rotate PSU and with same result
and i decide sell that crap in auction XD and buy radeon
