Sysytem: Microsoft Windows XP 32-bit Service Pack 3 [ES-VE] (With .NET framework 4.0 and the rest of important software, but that's not important here.) I want to install this GPU GeForce 6200 LE, but when I install it and turn the PC on, there is no video and I hear a group of short and quick beeps, then it looks like it keeps running, booting the OS but there is no video. I already cleared the CMOS by the jumper setting, and I'm sure it's not a port failure as I'm using a FX5200 128MB at the moment and it runs fine. So the question is: Is this motherboard compatible with this GPU? Could the RAM be the issue? If I install DDR400 RAM would it work?

Your board has an AGP 8X/4X 1.5V slot.

The 6200 LE seems to have both PCIe x16, and AGP 8X models. We assume you have the AGP 8X model? If it is a PCIe (PCI Express) model, it won't work in your board.

Your FX 5200 is an AGP 8X card.

There are multiple types of AGP, with different voltages.

The memory speed should not make any difference. The amount of memory is more likely to help, although I'm NOT saying that will fix your problem.

If you could count the number of short beeps you get, that might give us a clue about what the problem is, but that does not guarantee at all we can fix the problem.

Do you know that the 6200 LE card even works?
