Hey,

Your problem may not be as catastrophic as other people may think. If your screen is completely black, try this.

With your videocard in, take out the battery on your mobo. Let it sit for about 5 min. Then place the battery back. Then power up your comp. If you still don't have a signal check the agp slot, for corrosion/dust.

If that is still no good, try getting a old pci video card, attach your monitor cable to it and boot your os. Then trouble shoot your agp video card from your os. At least this way you might be able to see something wrong (IRQ conflict/baddrivers/you can update your drivers ect.)

last year, I screwed around with my computer swaping in and out cards (soundcard and ethernet cards), and this happened to me. These 2 techniques are what I used to fix my agp video card.

I hope this helps
reply back plz I would like to know,
