PC boot failure: black screen, one long three short beeps

Skybird · 06-22-12, 06:11 PM

In case a new gfx board is needed, I liked the Gainward GTX460, it was silent, and did the job. I do not need more power. But it costs still 170 Euros. There are already GTX560 boards with 1 GB as well, costing the same.

Recommendations which one to choose, and which model is good? Price not higher than 170, 180 euros or so. And yes, I intend to stay with nVidia.

(Still using driver 275.33. All later drivers were instabile, causing 2-4 seconds of black screen every couple of minutes. ) But why not, 275.33 was stable and did the job.
