AGP port is already being used for the existing monitor. What a bummer! :)). Any idea, why it isn't happy with the PCI cards(cards are good ones)? the motherboard is GA-7VAXP(rev 1.2) with 2.8GHz Athlon CPU. It simply won't boot(no screen), once I installed the additional PCI video card. Thanks. :)
