OK, i havent been able to use my computer for the past 2
months because i bought a new motherboard that doesnt have
an onboard video card, so, i bought an AGP video card and
stuck it in...everything works fine until Windows XP
starts to load up, it just goes black, i know XP is
loading up because i can here the little noise it does
when it boots up, and i can hear different noises if i
click around. the problem is my old motherboard does not
have an AGP video card slot...do i need to put my old
motherboard back in and uninstall the onboard video card??
if that doesnt work how do i get my onboard video back??

I would appreciate any advice you can give,
Brent

Brent;
A Repair Installation is normally required after a motherboard
replacement to properly detect the new hardware:
