GT2005 Complete Red board...not booting

[That80sGuy]

Ok.. so I have a GT2005 Complete and it is not booting. I get nothing on the screen and no game sounds.. will not coin up. On the PCB I see one steady red LED and one that flashes 4 times before a pause and then repeats. Anyone know what this code means? Is it the ram? I tried replacing the HD..but neither on seem to be powering up... so I guess it could be the power supply.

I would try video card

Out of the video cards that were used is there one that is best to get?

 

[That80sGuy]

I think I read somewhere that one of the better 3D/FX voodoo video cards was blue....anyone know the model number?

 

[ToplessZ]

the blue ones were made by IT, so they are not found in the wild for normal PC use.
I have a blue one for sale for 65.00

The green ones are voodoo cards PCI, voodoo3

Are any one of them better...or do they all perform about the same? I may be interested in the one from IT.

Well I have a huge box of failed video cards, only about 5 pout of the 50 are the blue ones, the yellow ones are total shit and I have a ton of the green ones. But I thinks it's largely due to heat, if you get a fan on the heat sink these cards will last a whole lot longer.

The one I have has a fan on it. So I guess I'll plug it into a pc and see if it works before replaceing it.

Sounds like you have one of the crappy yellow ones

 

[That80sGuy]

Awesome...

 

[That80sGuy]

So if I have another working PCI video card from around the same time ... do you think it would boot?

 

[ToplessZ]

I doubt it unless it uses the voodoo3 drivers
