New GF3 ti200 not sending signal to monitor

[xmilox]

Orginally I was useing the onboard video from my Amptron K7-810lm Motherboard but wanted to upgrade to the GF3 ti200 64mb agp card. I had tested the agp slot with an old Intel 740 card when I first got the board, so I know the AGP slot works. In preperation for the the new card I installed the latest agp drivers. After switching to the Primary VGA driver I shut down to place the new card in. I made shure the card was snug in the slot. When I attempt to boot up the monitor gets no signal and the computer beeps a couple times. I have tried booing with the geforce3 in and my monitor hooked up to the onboard video, still I get the same results. I have even tried it with the old Intel 740 card and it does not send a signal either. Does anyone have any idea what can be done?

You can start by removing the AGP addin card.
Then connect to the Onboard video adapter.

The system should detect the onboard adapter as connected and reset itself in the Bios as the default.
Boot into the bios.
If you still don’t get a display at this point then you should clear the Cmos..

Find any and all of the following.

Default/Primary display .. Set to agp
Assign IRQ to video .. Yes
Onboard Video .. Disable
PnP operating system .. NO
Reset Configuration Data .. YES
Then exit and save. when it saves and start to reboot Power the system Off
Install your AGP card and connect the video cable to it..
Boot the system .

BTW.. The bios should detect the video card that has the cable connected to it
Also when you shut down the system and before removing or installing any cards.
Unplug the power cord to the system.. Then press the power button on the case to
drain any power held in the capacitors on the system board
