Hey guys,

Well, tonight I put together my first system...ever. I installed the motherboard into the case without hitch, and powered on. All the CPU fans and case fans spinned.
Then, I inserted an old GeForce 2 Pro (AGP) I have to test the video. Nothing, I get no signal from the monitor.
Then, I pop in an old PCI Voodoo 3. Everything loads just fine and I'm in BIOS in no time. Ok, so the PCI card works fine.
Then, just to test, I put in my current Radeon 9000 (which im using in the rig to post this, btw) and same deal, fans spin, but no signal to the monitor. What am I doing wrong? Is there some jumper or something I must change? Why would my PCI card work but not my agp?

Make sure the card is properly seated in the slot.
On that particular board they have a lever that indicates
when the card is seated.

In the BIOs, make sure that "Init Display first" (under Intergrated Peripherials0
is set to AGP (default is PCI).
