BFG 7800gs screams at bootup; help!

I just installed the BFG 7800GS OC AGP card on my system (see sig for specs), and as soon as I turn the power on, I hear a loud, unending beep. Not a series of beeps: a single, piercing howl from my system. Based on the diagnostic bracket my system has, the problem seems to be 1)intializing the video card and 2) BIOS sign on (showing info about about logo, processor, etc...the POST screen. I've set my bios to all the default settings; any thoughts?

Is the fan plugged in? I got a similar error.

Yes, did you plug in the molex connector on the back of the card?

like they said, make sure the molex connector is plugged in, my 6800le screamed when it wasn't, it really is a loud high pitched scream, but that means you haven't plugged in the extra power into the video card.

thanks guys--I had it plugged into a fan dongle I guess. It works now--woohoo!

krazy kids

Can you post some pics of that card ?
