Working but not in the same time

Greetings all
I have a special problem :/ I have:
Motherboard: asus P5n-t deluxe
graphic card:nvidia 9800 gtx+
and every thing was working fine until one day when I turned my computer on for the second time that day, and my motherboard beeped 3 times I found that that meant there is a problem with the graphic card so after following the instructions to clear mosfets and the graphic and the motherboards lanes it still didn't work.
So I already tried:
-removing the motherboard battery for 10 min no effect
-putting the graphic card in a second PCIE lane and my computer keeps looping in reset (I think it's a bios thing but I am not sure about that)
- running a computer without a graphic card (P.S I don't have an on board video :( )
- powering the graphic card from another PSU
- here the fun part I installed my friends graphic card (a better graphic card then mine) in mine system and we put mine in his and both of the systems run normally ??? so it's neither the mobo or the graphic card any ideas?

I am currently running my system from his graphic card and will try to remove and reinstall the drivers for mine graphic card, hope it works :/
 
They are SuperTallent's ram 4Gb, any suggestions on how to test them ?

@Wraithguard:I didn't upgrade or made any changes to it (except clearing mosfets and removing the battery), it was working fine before with my Nvida Gpu and then all of a sudden motherboard started beeping there was a problem with the graphic card :(

Click to expand...

I see :mellow: How old is your BIOS battery?

I cleaned my old rig once and the card wouldn't work after cleaning, because while cleaning I'd pushed dust into the PCI slot.. I have also inadvertantly killed a old AGP card by laying it on the carpet :rolleyes: but that was some years ago.
 
Ut oh :sad: you may have damaged your motherboard, it's even a possibility you might have sucked a jumper from the board, but that said using a domestic vacuum cleaner to clean is not a wise idea the static build up on the nozzle can do nothing good to the board.
 
Well it's got my brain in overdrive as to why your card works in your friends PC and his card works in yours.. :confused: but yet your own card will not run in its original slot..

.... it's late and my head is swimming with possibilities.

Like Barnsley posted earlier is there anyway you could test your RAM, maybe putting it in your friends machine or while using his graphics card in your machine run Memtest to check.

EDIT - You can also try your card in your machine but use only 1 stick of ram at a time, to rule out a faulty stick.

Changing the PSU didn't help :(

sorry but I couldn't find any solution
