System can't boot after installed a TNT2 32M video card.

[hatexd]

I just bought this I/O Magic TNT2 32MB AGP video card from Compusa. After I insert the card into AGP socket and turn on the power, there are 2 continuous "dou"s sounds. I know this is because the AGP card is not accepted by the system or system does not find the video card. So system boot fails.

But I notice the fan is on. So I think the connection of the card and AGP socket is no problem.

I delete the original ATI video card, and Monitor on Windows 98 safe mode, and insert that I/O Magic TNT2 again, still the same after power on.

My computer is NEC 9905, and the motherboard is Intel SE 440BX2. I never upgraded the BIOS after I bought it.

Help!!! Thanks.

Disable the onboard card from bios(asuming it was a crappy onboard video adapter)

The original video card is not an on-board card. It is an AGP ATI.
