I believe your MBoard has IGraphics. When you run the 5200 do you have any issues with disabling the IG? I'm sure you have already verified the card is being fully inserted. Be sure the monitor is connected to the primary port. Does the card require external power connector?

BIOS settings to check: AGP Frequency = 66MHz AGP Aperture Size = 128MB Frame Buffer Size = disabled FSB Spread Spectrum = disabled AGP Spread Spectrum = disabled AGP Fast Write Capability = disabled Init Display First = AGP

when you say IG do u mean the Onboard Graphics havent had any problems disableing it but ile double check 2nite

it uses a mloex connector to power it and that is secureley connected up, and the card is securly inserted to the agp slot.

Of the BIOS settings that I suggested you check, the "Frame Buffer Size = disabled" will disable the onboard video

ide like to be able to chk the bios settings but until the 6600gt lets me in i cannot do diddly squat. unless i put my fx 5200 card in
