Hi folks, have a SQ575 motherboard with a K6-233 CPU and I'm having an issue with getting video to come up with my newly purchased Nvidia TNT2 M64 card...

I have checked the card with another motherboard and can get to BIOS, so it appears the video card is not the issue....

Is it possible that all the PCI slots on the SQ575 are bad? I have tried them all and checked documentation and don't find that there are any jumpers to set for video at all. I've also tried unplugging literally everything else and still see nothing. I can see the CPU fan spin up and hear things starting, just no video.

Thanks for any ideas you may have.

I haven't, but the mobo fires up just fine, I can hear everything come on and see the fans spinning, just no video. I rechecked the jumpers to make sure they were set for the correct voltages for the CPU as well.

The mobo documentation says it uses award bios, I get a long beep and a short one at startup, but of course, Award doesn't show a beep code for that, 🤣.
