New MB install AGP card causes "Disk read error"

Just upgraded my sons computer with a new Soyo K7VMP2 MB I formatted & Reinstalled 98SE using the onboard video with no problems. After all was running good I added his Gforce 3 (Gainward) AGP video card but at boot-up I get "disk read error" message and computer stops booting. By the way I have Partition Magic and Boot Magic installed. the disk read error happens even before bootmagic runs . I removed the AGP card and connected back up the MB video and presto...it reads disk ok and starts up fine. for some reason the Gforce causes a disk read error even before windows runs. Anyone seen this or have any Ideas??

Much Thanks
 
right click on my computer --> click advanced tab --> under performance click settings button --> click advanced tab --> set memory usage to programs instead of system cache --> hit ok, ok --> reboot your computer

this is a known problem with certain cards
 
Thanks for the replies but I dont have that option avaliable ..are you sure it is avaliable on 98SE? Btw It ran fine before the motherboard swap and it was installed with no problems or special settings. Could this be maybe a motherboard issue? any thoughts?
thanks
 
You're right, what I told you was for Windows XP. I don't know if 98SE has that option and if it does, where it would be.
