    try a different card.... i have my savage4 card as backup for cases like this.

    all are about the same... things to look for are, ram speed, quality of stock cooling, do u need DVI, or VIVO, or extra ports, software bundles... etc..

    It isn't beeping at all is it? Beep codes are important to diagnose some of these problems. Also tried the good old method of pulling the card, and then reseating it.

    I had a problem similar to that with my old system. One day it just decided not to display any video whatsoever. So I took the machine with me to work and proceeded to test it out. I discovered that somehow my AGP slot had fried, or some such thing. As my GeForce2 MX worked in a different machine but not in mine. I then tried a PCI card in my machine and it worked fine. So I ended up using a Radeon PCI card until I got the sys in my sig.

    My reccomendations are to try a different AGP video card. If that doesn't work, use a PCI one. Then go into your bios and make sure that AGP video is enabled, if it isn't, then enable it. If it is, well I guess you're pretty much screwed, and have fun finding a PCI card.
