Hi, i have a ASUS P3V133 motherboard and a VIDEO EXCEL AGP 4X/2X NVIDIA Riva 32mb video card. The thing is that i turned on my computer and the motherboard made three short beeps...so i looked it in the manual and the problem is that the video card memory is bad....
what made my video card die????? can i go and buy a new video card without the worry of another crisis??????????
thanks

At least you know what happened and how to fix it. It seems your card is discontinued and this one is a recomended replacement. http://www.hightech.com.hk/html/TM6B1.htm

Its good to do a little research on a good, compatible card for your system. Hopefully, others will respond here with more advice on good cards. I do not see many posts here on failing cards but I suspect some problems posted were due to bad cards. Video card and ram are the harder working pair in your pc.
