[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1583070, member: 56379"] When you say "doesn't do the beeps"...do you mean the Mac startup sound? Yes...that unsupported video card could be causing issues (PRAM reset). Who knows...maybe it's causing the "main" problem you have as well. As far as NVRAM/PRAM reset. You didn't say what Macintosh computer model you have. But depending on what it is...(laptop, desktop...old or new)...you can remove the battery (laptop battery or desktop PRAM battery). Then let it sit for a while to let things completely discharge. - Nick p.s. I guess I should assume that this is a desktop computer of some sort...since you mentioned the unsupported video card.;) Older or newer I have no idea. [/QUOTE]
