So I just bought a new (used) computer for my arcade machine. Its an HP with an E8400 processor, few gig mem... good hard disk... in a small footprint. Got it cheap on ebay.. Everything was going well, but then I went to buy a small footprint video card that is compatible with soft15khz... Got an ATI that should be fast enough for SF4, good to go... put it in... 7 beeps... send it back, get another one 3 weeks later... put it in... 7 beeps... so I don't send this one back because I want to check the motherboard... I pull the board out of the case... put in a known working video card (non-small footprint) and guess what... !@# 7 beeps! Now it looks like I will have to buy a new motherboard, case, power supply, video card... JUST because this !@# slot is bad.... RRRRRRRR I'm now wondering if I should just buy another computer and swap processors or something... I'm so pissed :angry: |

Also, a PCI (not AGP or PCI Express) card would also be good enough for MAME. Wouldn't work for SF IV if you were also running PC games on the cab. |
| ark_ader:
Do you have more than one card in the PC? If so take all the cards out and just have your video card. This could be a good indicator that your power supply is not supplying enough juice. |
| Malenko:
does the video require external power plug? Have you tested the card in another machine? |
