So from the top. i'm a newbie to hardware so be gentle please..

I am trying to install a Sapphire Radeon 9550 AGP graphics card.

I'm using an ASUS A7N266-VM rev.1.05
Bios rev ev 1005 (not sure what this means but might be useful?)

My motherboard has an NVIDEA GeForce 2 Integrated GPU which i have a driver installed for.

Right so, got the card, put it in the AGP slot, well seated, plug in my monitor cable and i got no signal. i'm not even sure my HD is spinning up because i get no bleeps and a "no signal" message from my monitor.

Removing the card and going into the bios i change the primary graphics whatchamajig to the AGP slot, plug it back in, still no joy.

i've tried pre-installing the driver for the Radeon and disabling the NVIDEA driver but that doesnt work either, running out of ideas.
 
Open device manager and right click your old integrated video device. disable it. restart with the vga/dvi in the 9550 and it should work.
 
firtly, i cantget TO device manager with the card in, as i cant even get past the bios.

and yeah, tried disabling the integrated card both using device manager and the bios
