The instructions with the card instruct you to disable onboard video. My motherboard doesn't have onboard video so this wasn't my problem.

Remove the new card so you can get a pic. Then, boot to the CMOS, change the setting to disable the onboard video, power down, and insert the card again. That should work.

On a more disappointing note, I'm still having other problems with both copies of this card in my machine. I'm going to return them, today. 🙁
 
I have a 5200 with 128 ram and 128 bus. Bought it 4-6montha ago for < $50. I bought it for a htpc. Its been good. I have not played any games on it. It ran hauppauge sw fine and gbpvr well. It had problems with beyondtv at first. I have an AMD 2000 and 512meg. I had to use s/w instead of h/w to do some features. Suprised me because I bought the card to offload my proc. I went with it because I just wanted the most basic dx9 card that could offload some video overlay calc etc. Now it seems the h/w can't run fast enough to help even htpc. Add in that it doesn't have the built in h/w to accelerate mpeg playback I question it even for FAR. You are paying $50 for a 64bit card that should be cheaper than my $30sumthing 128 bit card. I kinda wish I got the 57 or 5900 for future use. But to be fair it is working perfectly with my settings. Just turn off most h/w acceleration and I can't vouch for what 64 bit may do to you.
