AGP video card won't install

My AGP video card cannot be detected. I can't manually install it either. I have all the latest drivers from the motherboard and chipset manufacturers. I have confirmation that the card(Monster Fusion) has tested with the board. I have done everything the card and motherboard companies have suggested. I am out of options other than returning the card. No one else I know has a PII board to try it on. Any help would be appreciated.

Mark, Do you get a beep code at bootup to indicate your system can't detect it? A blank/black screen? A boot to windows in standard vga mode?

Yes! I get the beeps and the black screen. After several seconds the computer shuts down.

Make sure the card is seated in the slot properly. If that is the case, I suspect the card is defective & you should take it back to where you purchased it. Also might try one other thing. Take out any other expansion cards you have, like modem, sound card, etc. May be that the new video card is incompatible with one of them or that one of them is using something the AGP card wants to use.

Took the modem and sound card out, re-checked seating(again). This time no beeps, but still a black screen. Changed monitor connection to other video card and AGP still had not been "plugged and played" :-( Thanks for all of your help. I guess I'll be taking it back.
