PC Won't Boot With New Graphics Card Installed

[Jusick]

I just recently bought an ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON 8500DV Card(AGP version), and before I installed the card, I had uninstalled my previous ATI and my video adapter card software and drivers from my computer. I also disabled my built-in video adapter too. In addition, I went to my BIOS and on the PCI/ Plug and Play Setup Page, I changed my PCI setting to AGP bus. After I had installed my ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON graphics, my computer wouldn't boot up. I just got a self test message that came across my computer's monitor screen telling me that my monitor is working and that I need to check the video cable and computer.

On an ending note, what must I do to get my computer to boot up with my ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON 8500DV Card(AGP version) installed?

You may have a bad card. Should come up in minimal VGA with no drivers installed.
You might want to try your old card back in to see whether you might have damaged something in the changeover.
AGP is particularly bad about seating and camming out of the socket when the mounting screw is tightened. You might try it with no screw after reseating. Ed Fair

To those who were concern with my ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON 8500DV Card(AGP version) situation,

I want to let you guys know that I couldn't get it to work. After doing some research, I found that my motherboard(M810) was the only type of motherboard that fail the test with the ALL-IN-WONDER RADEON 8500DV Card (AGP version), so I concluded that my motherboard wasn't compatible with the ALL-IN-WONDER-RADEON 8500DV Card(AGP version), and I took the card back for any exchange.
