I have a Nvidia 8800GTX and it has 2 power inputs in the card. Until now i only have 1 power input plugged in. but i noticed that if i plug the power cable to the other input on the graphics card, it beeps when it starts up(and no picture will appear obviously). is this because the card is damaged or is it normal? ie. is it normal that if you plug the power in power input 'A' it works fine and if you plug it in power input 'B', the card beeps? thanks in advance
It's a warning that both power inputs aren't plugged in. My guess is that it looks for the first plug and will beep if it doesn't see it plugged in. Both connectors should be plugged in, as it can require enough power that one lead won't be able to cover if the card is under enough of a load.
ok man cheers. you have put my mind at rest because i thought the card is faulty again!!(because i already changed this card twice! and its a new pc
