Installing video card, no work

[goldenrat]

I am trying to install a GeForce FX Verto 5500 PCI dual vga display video card and am having problems. Okay, after installing the card and hooking up the monitors, I start the computer and once it gets to the windows boot screen, it doesn't do anything. the progress bar does nothing. It just does nothing. I am running windows xp sp1, have not got my wifi card working yet. I have booted up in safe mode and it won't allow me to install the card. if i try to launch off the drivers cd rom, it freezes. if i remove the card, windows boots up fine.

any ideas?

Sounds like a IRQ conflict.Try moving the card to a different PCI slot.Read this it my be of help to you. http://kadaitcha.cx/irq_conflicts.html

I got it working.

1. I had to disable the onboard video driver in the System hardware devices
2. Turned off computer and installed card. connected monitors and turned on.
3. Entered bios and changed the primary display adaptor to pci
4. restarted and... BAM! It works! No thanks the the instructions provided by the video card company.
