You may just have installed a new card on an old and dirty slot. Try reseating the card but clean the slot first with a small paint brush.
Even without its own driver, the card should be able to display POST then boot at low resolution.

Hey, you need to go into BIOS and set the monitor from onboard to AGP . Hook up the monitor to the onboard video to do it then put it on your new card.
Good luck

Did you drop the cd disk in? (In the instructions, it gives you more info, like when to put the disk in,(drivers, ATI User Panel), and when to install the card.
