I have an award bios with Athlon XP1900+

Geforce 2MX200 Card Expert

For the past week , when I boot my system after it has been off, I get one long beep and 2 short beeps which means video failure. Computer won’t boot. After about 5 or 6 tries it finally boots and runs fine for days, until I turn off and next boot attempt.

Is this a bad card? How do I tell? Why does it work fine when it does boot up?

I have been thinking of upgrading my video card anyway, but I would like to know if the card is bad. Any info would help, thanks.
