Why Can't I Install Voodoo5 5500 PCI

[turtlesoda]

I disable onboard graphics, install new V5 PCI card, restart. Install V5 Drivers (it also automatically installs onboard graphics but I remove them), restart, but screen goes blank. Any help?

Thanks-

Reboot into safe mode and go to Device Manager and look for conflicts there.

Also make sure in the bios you have "Primary VGA card" as PCI NOT AGP


Reason your onboard video is AGP...

Status?

Still nothing.

Tech support was stumped.

I had a V3 PCI and it worked great. PC locked up one night. V3 was screwy and I couldn't get it to work. I thought V3 crapped out, so I returned it to Best Buy and got V5 5500 PCI online. It has the same problems as V3, I can't get it to install right. Very frustrating.
