hmm...... never used a board with AMI BIOS before, but obviously, if that started happening when switching cards, be sure your power supply is up to good for the card, as well as try re-seating it.........be sure to check the placement of your ram modules as well....... when all else fails, clear the cmos setup

RAMe error would be one long beep from the PC speaker AFAIK

Try checking your motherboard manual. Sometimes it can be of help.

i mean it has two short beeps than waits a second, than another short beep.

Try finding the manual online OR open the manual .. it should give you information on what the beeping heck the beeps mean
