I'm having trouble installing a Creative Labs Savage 4 3D Blaster on my IBM Aptiva 2153 E3U. I put the card in my only PCI slot and boot the system. The card doesn't output to the monitor. I have on board video on this system but it is supposed to auto disable if I install a new primary video device. I checked the BIOS setup and it is set to auto disable. The on board video output won't output to the monitor though either if I have the card in the slot either. Does anyone know how I might go about disabling this on board video that is supposed to auto disable? Or does anyone had a similar problem? At this point I'm open to anything.

Thanks guys, hope you can help!

Could you let me know if you solved this problem yet? I'm having the same problem and am beginning to think that the video card is bad.
