What card did you have previously?

Usually you will get a boot screen even if the onboard graphics is selected in BIOS. A quick check to suggest would be to pull the card then set the BIOS to AGP for primary graphics. Then shutdown and reinstall the card and boot.

BTW welcome to DH

So you could reboot with onboard after removing the card?

Sounds like you have a bad card I would suggest RMA.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help Bro
