ok my geforce 2mx graphics card has stopped working in my pc for some reason, it happened when i rebooted after the pc had crashed

i gave to a technican to test it and he said it worked fine in his machine.
when i boot up i get one boot and some hard drive activity which(indicated by the red light)

i can boot up fine when i take it out and use my onboard motherboard graphics so what could be the problem. i heard it could be something to do with agp driver issues.

Have you recently changed BIOS settings, try going into BIOS and disabling the ON-Board Graphics card.

ok when you bootup with the onboard graphics go to start tab, control panel then system, then hardware, then device manager, now look for the graphics card there in that list, if you see it right click it and deleate it. restart your computer then check it again make sure its gone. now shut it off and put the agp card back in bootup with it in, see if will display the monitor? if so you can download the drivers or put in the cd driver disk .also it appears that your board is a few years old with a p3 in there ,so when it crashed it could of just shorted out, the agp slot on your motherboard just gave up, for some reason maybe a circut chip failed on the board.
