On many motherboards there is a setting to toggle the main display
between agp and pci.. Perhaps this one is looking for a card in the agp
slot?

I recently bought 2 video cards for this machine both Visiontek:1) Xtasy
5564 gforce2 MX400 64MB PCI (retail).When that one did'nt work, I got
this, 2) nVIDIA TNT2 M64 16MB SDRAM PCI (oem).When I inserted these
cards, Nothing came up on the display, even the BIOS menu didn't show
up. It doesn't work at all. But strangely enough, you could hear hard
drive being accessed and Windows seemed to boot up with no video signal
output. However, I inserted these cards into a new machine and they
worked!
